Molly Hatchet is the debut studio album by American rock band Molly Hatchet. It was released on September 1, 1978, by Epic Records. The cover is a painting by Frank Frazetta entitled Death Dealer. Starting off both the album itself and the recording career of the band, the first song famously begins with lead singer Danny Joe Brown growling "Hell yeah!"
"Dreams I'll Never See" is a cover of The Allman Brothers Band's song "Dreams" from their debut album, via Buddy Miles's reworking of the song from Them Changes (1970).
