On Regrinding the Axes, Molly Hatchet revisits some of their favorite songs originally made famous by other legendary rock bands, covering well-known anthems from the repertoire of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Thin Lizzy, and Leslie West s Mountain. The album also features three lengthy live tracks, recorded during one of their mind-blowing concerts. Combining loud hard rock boogie with guitar jam-oriented southern rock, Molly Hatchet has become the definitive southern rock band and an icon of rock music in general. Formed in Jacksonville in 1975, Molly Hatchet took their band name from a legendary prostitute who allegedly mutilated and decapitated her clients. Their self-titled debut album, recorded in 1978, quickly went platinum; the follow-up, Flirtin with Disaster, was even a bigger success, ultimately selling well over two million copies.
