"Lightning Strikes Twice" is an album by American Southern rock band, Molly Hatchet. Released in 1989, this album marks the last one where Bruce Crump played drums until 2005's "Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge".
The musical style of the album retains the traditional Southern Rock style that Molly Hatchet is well known for. Despite the departure of the band's original frontman in 1980, the album captures the evolving sound of the group as they continued to incorporate various influences, including hard rock and blues.
The track list includes songs such as "Take Miss Lucy Home", "There Goes the Neighborhood", and "Heartbreak Radio". However, the album didn't fare well commercially as compared to the band's previous ones and failed to chart in any country.
The cover art for the album, a staple for the band, is a Frank Frazetta canvas titled "Dark Kingdom", continuing the band's pattern of using Frazetta's artwork.
Despite its commercial performance, "Lightning Strikes Twice" continues to be appreciated by dedicated fans for its hard-hitting Southern Rock vibes and the band's continued commitment to their musical roots.
