No Guts . . . No Glory

No Guts . . . No Glory. This is my all-time favorite Molly Hatchet album and one of the albums I always keep on my iPod. Why? Because I never tire of it. There isn't a bad song on the record, man. Not one.

No Guts . . . No Glory is the fifth album by Molly Hatchet and marked the return of the original vocalist, the late, great Danny Joe Brown. Besides the haunting Fall of the Peacemakers, this album featured the driving What's It Gonna Take and the ode to love in all the wrong places, Kinda Like Love. And those are just three of the dynamite songs on this album. There's the rousing Ain't Even Close and the all-out boogie of Sweet Dixie too.

Molly Hatchet is one of the most underrated bands in southern rock. Everybody gives it up for Lynyrd Skynyrd, and hey, I don't want to take anything away from the boys. Southern wouldn't be southern without them. I'm just saying the same holds true for Molly Hatchet. Give credit where it's due. These guys can southern boogie with the best of them.

I'm a huge Hatchet fan, and while I could recommend any of their albums, this one really does it for me.

Who Wants Some Nashville Pussy?

If you haven't heard this band yet, you're missing out. A little hard rock, a little southern rock, a little psychobilly - these guys and girls are outrageous. Classified as sleaze rock, this is not your mom and dad's rock band for sure, unless you're mom and dad are pretty fucking cool.

The band is actually not from Nashville. They're from Atlanta, Georgia, and if you're familiar with Ted Nugent's intro on Double Live Gonzo to the song Wang Dang Sweet Poontang, you can figure out where they got the name for the band.

Blaine Cartwright (vocals, rhythm guitar) formed the band with his wife Ruyter Suys (lead guitar). Jeremy Thompson (drums) and Bonnie Buitrago (bass) round out the current line-up of the band, which has seen a few members come and go since its birth 1997.

The band's first album (released in 1998), entitled Let Them Eat Pussy, sets the tone. Nashville Pussy has released a total of five studio albums, a couple live performances, and an EP. Some of the titles include High as Hell, Say Something Nasty, and Get Some! Song titles include You're Goin' Down, Fried Chicken and Coffee, Piece of Ass, Blowjob from a Rattlesnake, Keep on Fuckin', and too many more classics to name.

Nashville Pussy is by no means tame. I like them. The music is loud, in your face rock 'n' roll that makes no apologies. The band will probably never be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they will be in great company.

If you're looking for something rude to get you in the mood, grab a little Nashville Pussy.
