Molly Hatchet
Molly Hatchet, formed in Jacksonville, Florida in the mid-1970s, built their sound around a heavier, more aggressive guitar attack than some of their Southern rock contemporaries, giving the band a sound that bridged Southern rock with the harder-edged rock and early metal sensibilities emerging during that era. Their 1979 song "Flirtin' with Disaster" became one of the band's most enduringly popular tracks, and its combination of driving guitar work and Danny Joe Brown's powerful vocal delivery established Molly Hatchet as one of the more commercially successful second-wave Southern rock bands. The band's striking album cover artwork, frequently featuring fantasy and mythological imagery from artist Frank Frazetta, gave Molly Hatchet a distinctive visual identity that set them apart from Southern rock's more typically understated album art conventions. Their combination of a heavier guitar sound within the Southern rock tradition and their distinctive fantasy-influenced visual branding has made Molly Hatchet one of the more musically and visually distinctive bands within the genre's broader history.
VS
Blackfoot
Blackfoot, formed by musicians of Native American heritage including several members who'd played alongside future Lynyrd Skynyrd members in earlier bands, built their sound around a harder-edged, more explicitly hard rock-influenced take on Southern rock than some of their genre contemporaries. Their 1979 song "Highway Song" and 1980 hit "Train, Train" became some of the band's most enduringly popular tracks, reflecting Blackfoot's commercial peak during Southern rock's continued mainstream radio presence into the early 1980s. The band's close personal connections to Lynyrd Skynyrd, including shared early band history among several members before each group's separate formation, reflected the tightly interconnected nature of the Jacksonville, Florida music scene that produced several significant Southern rock acts. Their combination of a harder-rocking sound within the Southern rock tradition and their direct musical lineage connections to Lynyrd Skynyrd's broader scene has made Blackfoot a significant, if somewhat less commercially dominant, part of the genre's classic era.
