Beatin' the Odds is the third studio album by American southern rock band Molly Hatchet, released in 1980 (see 1980 in music). This is the first album with new vocalist Jimmy Farrar, who replaced Danny Joe Brown. A remastered edition of the album was issued in 2008 by Rock Candy Records, with four live bonus tracks and extensive liner notes. The remastering was directed by famous British producer Jon Astley. The album was also reissued under the SPV/Steamhammer label in 2013 and only included the original tracks.
The cover art for the album was "Conan the Conqueror" by Frank Frazetta.
Recorded live at The Lakeland Civic Centre, Lakeland, Florida, on 31 December 1980
