Reservoir Acquires Rights To Molly Hatchet Classic Rock Catalog
Reservoir has acquired the catalog of classic American Southern rock band Molly Hatchet, including the group’s thirty-five-year-strong hit single, “Flirtin’ With Disaster”.
Molly Hatchet emerged in Jacksonville, Florida in the 1970s, coming up among fellow heritage rock groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band. Molly Hatchet quickly distinguished itself from the rest of the circuit with a unique blend of boogie, blues, and hard rock, as exemplified in its enduring keystone single, “Flirtin’ With Disaster”. After four decades in the business and with over a dozen albums under its belt, the group is still celebrated for its succession of hit releases, including 1978’s Platinum-certified debut Molly Hatchet, 1979’s double-Platinum Flirtin’ With Disaster, and the Platinum-certified 1980 release Beatin’ The Odds.
The lasting relevance of the Molly Hatchet catalog is proven with feats such as the placement of “Flirtin’ With Disaster” in the contemporary Rock Band video game series. Reservoir intends to uphold the catalog’s legacy through the pursuit of similar licensing opportunities and the unearthing of unrealized income streams.
Having toured alongside such iconic acts as Aerosmith, Bob Seger, and The Rolling Stones in the past, Molly Hatchet continues to perform heavily today, with recent stops on their 2015 Justice world tour including sets at Rock Legends Cruise III, the Sweden Rock festival, and the Riverbend festival.
