Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cementing the band's commercial peak, 'Flirtin' with Disaster' is defined by a hard-rocking, triple-guitar attack that drove its Southern boogie sound. Producer Tom Werman applied a polished, radio-ready sheen to the powerful instrumentation and Danny Joe Brown's gruff vocal delivery, distinguishing the album with a heavier, more metallic edge than many of their contemporaries. This combination of formidable Southern passion and studio precision resulted in the group's best-selling album, propelled by the enduring title track which became a staple of the genre.
