Mahogany Rush - Maxoom (1973) FLAC
Maxoom was the debut album from Mahogany Rush and they certainly wore their influence on their sleeve. Guitarist Frank Marino, who is only sixteen years old here, evokes the spirit and sounds of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. They even dedicate this album to the late, great Jimi Hendrix. Not unlike Hendrix's Experience, Mahogany Rush mixes together rock, jazz, blue, 60's pop and some experimental elements. The opening track reminds me of the booming, noisy opening to "Electric Ladyland".
Marino's guitar playing is monstrous, and even his smooth vocals are reminiscentof the 60's guitar legend. "Maxoom" represented the beginning of yet another guitar legend. While Frank Marino may has started out emulating his guitar hero, he developed into a legendary guitarist in his own right. An odd fact about this record. Because this album was dedicated to and had such a similar style to the late Jimi Hendrix, "Maxoom" perpetuated the rumor that Frank was Jimi's reincarnation. On the track "Buddy", Frank is actually singing to Jimi about the affect that Hendrix's life and untimely death had on him.
