Such an underrated Southern Rock Band. They always had such interesting album covers

With this song:

Outlaws on the loose,

Runnin', runnin', runnin' from the noose.

And this one:

Loved 'em ever since. And I agree they are very underrated and always had great album art.

This song was originally an Allman Bros. tune, but Molly Hatchet took it and made it their own. There are easily half a dozen versions spread out over 25 years. This is the acoustic version, and is my personal favorite.

They own that song even if Allman Brothers created it Molly Hatchet perfected it!

Fall of the Peacemakers. Must we bury any more?
