Molly Hatchet’s new single “JacksonVillain” takes its name from a hometown nickname. In the lyric video released November 13 by Steamhammer, the Southern rock band return to Jacksonville, Florida, two weeks before their first studio album in 16 years, Lost Horizon.
Guitarist Bobby Ingram remembers the Jacksonville of the song through its sounds: drag pipes on cars, midnight rehearsals and the fans who turned up for the band’s harder edge. In the release accompanying the video, he recalls how the name Hatchet Nation grew out of that local following as word spread across the Southeast.
“JacksonVillain” is the third cut on the 12-track album, between “Whiskey Desperado” and the earlier single “Dixie Highway.” Steamhammer will release Lost Horizon on November 27 on CD, double vinyl and digitally.
