I first heard Frank Marino when Tommy Vance played Juggernaut and Strange Dream, from the Juggernaut album, on his BBC Radio One Friday Rock Show in 1982. I loved both tracks and was not disappointed when I later bought the album. I first heard Mahogany Rush when Alan Freeman played Dragonfly, from the 1977 Live album, on his Capital Radio show in the nineteen-eighties. Again, I thought the track was great and later bought the album. Since then, I've been collecting Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush albums in a rather haphazard fashion. Juggernaut is a subtle album, full of little nuancies, perhaps in keeping with the early eighties, while on other albums, Marino's guitar playing sounds like something from another planet. At times, though, his voice sounds a bit strained and his playing can be a little repetitive. Overall, I love this band and they always make me sit up and listen. I read in a recent interview that Marino now regrets the story that he believed himself to be the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix.
