 (8 Customer Reviews)
When headbanger historians look back on the important heavy metal and hard rock bands that were active during the '70s, Mahogany Rush's name doesn't come up nearly as often as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Kiss, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Blue Öyster Cult or Aerosmith -- and that is regrettable because Frank Marino led one of the '70s' most exciting hard rock/metal outfits. Mahogany Rush is, without question, underrated. Walk past a Hard Rock Café, and it isn't uncommon to hear Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" or Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" being blasted -- but how often will a Hard Rock Café expose pedestrians to something by Mahogany Rush? Regardless, Marino still has his share of die-hard followers who will be happy to know that Mahogany Rush is in fine form on Real Live. Recorded live at Club Soda in Montreal, Canada on September 8, 2001 (only three days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks), this two-CD set doesn't break any new ground for Marino -- who sticks with the sort of Jimi Hendrix-influenced hard rock, heavy metal, blues-rock and psychedelic rock he was providing 30 years earlier. Marino's refusal to change with the times is just as well -- he is great at what he does, and the singer/guitarist is as inspired on original material as he is on performances of the Zombies' "She's Not There" and two Hendrix classics: "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and "Red House." Clearly, time hasn't robbed Marino (who was 46 in 2001) of either his chops or his enthusiasm. Casual listeners would be better off starting out with some of Mahogany Rush's old-'70s recordings, but longtime fans will be happy to know how nicely his vocals and guitar playing are holding up on these Montreal performances. ~ Alex Henderson

Real Live Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Frank's got some Stones eh'
To open a live album with Voodoo Chile(not voodoo chile slight return) by Hendrix, imo, takes some stones. Of course, Frank knows he can do it. The jazz intro to "Red House" is just incredible, before he blisters into the blues section of the song. As a matter of fact, this night in Montreal was briliant. One minor quibble and I think another reviewer mentioned this, but the band seems to be a little low in the mix. It says inside on the liner notes that Frank produced and engineerd the cd. Regardless, get this Now!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Can go on and on.
Don't get me wrong this man is an extraordinary Guitarist. The only problem is he is a solo Hog. It would have beeen nicer if he let his backing band in a little bit which would have given the album a little variation. I'm sure I'm offending Frank marino purists out there but hey it's only my opinion. If you guitar driven Rock, Jazz & Blues theres not reason not to buy.

Outstanding
Frank still has the goods. He has lost none of his playing finesse over the years. Hi version of Voodoo Chile is first class, as are alot of the other tracks on this double CD. Make sure you turn it up loud and let the neighbours know about serious some guitar playing.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Real Live; Real Skills
All I can say is WOW. This guy has skills that eclipse most living guitar players of today by a LARGE margin. He's smooth, he's skilled, he's incredibly musical, and this set definitely reflects that. Worth every penny to buy.
And yeah... Red House is nothing less than phenomenal... CRANK it and enjoy!

Recorded in February 1963. Includes liner notes by Michael Hill.
Digitally remastered by Bill Lacey (Digital Sound & Picture, New York, New York).
By 1963 Cooke was a big enough star to call his own shots in the studio, and NIGHT BEAT is the result of his desire to make an intimate, artistic album that abandoned pop arrangements in favor of intimate soul-jazz settings. Accompanied by a small band that includes drum legend Hal Blaine and a very young Billy Preston on organ, he tackles a batch of tunes that were close to his heart. From the mournful, set-'em-up-Joe feel of "Lost And Lookin'" to the randy blues of Willie Dixon's "Little Red Rooster," Cooke pours out his heart. Freed from pop strictures, Cooke allows himself ...

Mark Nelson has been on the forefront of the contemporary acoustic music scene since the early 1970's. His mastery of the Applachian dulcimer and its European cousin, the Swedish hummel, has redefined what these deceptively simple instruments are capable of. Growing up surrounded by the music of the Pacific and Caribbean, he has developed a uniquely appealing Island-style guitar technique that blends elements of Hawaiian slack key guitar, finger-style, and Celtic influences. He and noted master musician Keola Beamer co-authored the first ever comprehensive tutorial for ki ho`alu, the wonderful Hawaiin guitar style: "Learn to Play Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar." (Mel Bay Publications). He and Keola host The Aloha Music Camp, a week-long immersion into Hawaiian music and culture held each ...
