MOLLY HATCHET Guitarist Pays Tribute To RONNIE JAMES DIO

May 20, 2010

Bobby Ingram of MOLLY HATCHET pays his tribute to Ronnie James Dio (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF) and shares his personal experiences in a conversation with Metal Assault. The three-and-a-half-minute audio clip is available below.

MOLLY HATCHET's new album, "Justice", will be released on June 1 in North America on SPV/Steamhammer. A dozen rock numbers prove that MOLLY HATCHET are justly considered to be on par with legends such as LYNYRD SKYNYRD and the ALLMAN BROTHERS. "Justice" is marked by hot southern rock that is exceptionally powerful and diverse. Almost every single track signals its musical and thematic direction. As frontman Phil McCormack unmistakably sings on "American Pride": "Got that American pride with that southern style, born and bred something deep inside." And the title track is pretty much representative of the whole album: "We need some justice to make the wrong into right."

There are so many exciting aspects to discover on an album which presents MOLLY HATCHET (Ingram, McCormick, Dave Hlubek (guitar),Tim Lindsey (bass),Shawn Beamer (drums),John Galvin (keyboards) at the pinnacle of their creativity.

MOLLY HATCHET have recorded a true masterpiece; not only in terms of their compositions, but also in terms of its production, "Justice" leaves nothing to be desired. Producer Ingram is responsible for the awesome sound, supported by sound engineer Tommy Newton, who mixed the album. "I wanted a warm, natural sound, which you only get with an analog mixing desk," Ingram explains his decision of working with Newton and his Area 51 studio. And so "Justice" has turned into an album which impresses at all levels: earthy, dynamic, with a lot of love for detail and loads of energy. You could say it's MOLLYHATCHET at its best!
