FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSH (ABO#241)

FRANK MARINO

SPIRITUAL SON

(1972-2005)

As many canadian artists, Frank Marino and his band suffered from USA's domination on american show business. But he sure was a great artist and made nothing less than 14 albums (including 2 live albums!). Sadly Marino didn't took fame as much as he should have. Even with a great position in the second edition of The Cal Jam (in 1978), he and his band never went further than a close fan base. His guitar is yet much greater than any other Hard/Blues/Rock guitar heroes ! A better comparison is that, for me, Frank Marino is the only man who has been able to feel Hendrix's absence since his death un 1970. If you don't know him, the first listen of any of his songs should remind you what Jimi sounded like. But, in a way, no one ever wanted another Hendrix...
