Looked for a long time for a cd by this man and finally stumbled across this live disc used for $6.99. I use to own a bunch of Frank Marino on vinyl, but replacing that vinyl has not been easy. Regardless, this is an excellent live jam and includes two of my favorite Marino songs in "Juggernaut" and "Strange Dreams."

There is just something captivating about Marino's guitar playing and his sound. I've never listed him as one of my favorites, yet when I popped this cd into my stereo, I have a hard time taking it out. I just really dig his 1970's heavy metal sound. The other thing I like about this disc is that it has an infectious groove from beginning to end. Gotta love that. "All Along the Watchtower" is a Bob Dylan cover that has also been performed by Jimi Hendrix. Marino's version is influenced more by Hendrix's version but he still makes the song sound like his own.

Solid and hard hitting cd from guitar master Frank Marino. There are a few 80's sounding ideas on this cd but for the most part Frank doesn't stray far from the sound that made him popular in the 1970's. I never could understand why everyone said he was a Hendrix clone. Frank certainly has a style of his own, although the Hendrix influence is there, it's definitely not so out front that he should be labeled a clone. Great cd mixing the Blues with a some heavy guitar tones and some well written rock 'n' roll songs. This cd is out of print in the U.S.
