Molly Hatchet Announce First Album in 16 Years, Unleash “Dixie Highway”: Stream

Molly Hatchet, a classic Southern rock band, has announced their first album in 16 years, titled "Lost Horizons," set to release on November 27th through Steamhammer. Prior to the album's debut, the group unveiled their lead single, "Dixie Highway," which is a refreshing blend of big fuzzed-out riffs and country boogie. Rather than feeling like a dramatic return, "Dixie Highway" appears to be the band staying true to their roots, delivering the signature Southern rock hooks and rock and roll swagger expected from Molly Hatchet.

The AI-generated video for the single showcases the band alongside hot rods and extravagant lyrics, all set against the backdrop of the American desert.

The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, an iconic location where the Beatles once worked 60 years ago. Guitarist and songwriter Bobby Ingram shared that the experience was particularly emotional, as they utilized the same studio, microphones, and engineering expertise that McCartney, Lennon, Harrison, and Starr had once employed.

The band also added younger members Garrett Ramsden on drums and Parker Lee on vocals, which Ingram believes has breathed new life into the group. Ramsden's addition has brought fresh vigor, while Lee's vocals evoke the spirit of the band's original singer, Danny Joe Brown. With a lineup that has already proven effective in crafting an emotionally charged and profound album, Molly Hatchet is now gearing up for a US tour commencing on September 5th.
