Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush-What´s Next (1980)

At the start of the 1980s, Canadian guitarist Frank Marino released his seventh album with his inseparable band Mahogany Rush, this time with the addition of Vince Marino (Frank's brother) on second guitar. The rest of the lineup remained the same: bassist Paul Harwood and drummer Jimmy Ayoub. Despite the growing emphasis on melody and the ubiquitous keyboards that were beginning to take hold in rock music during those years, Frank Marino was still determined to expand his powerful 1970s hard rock sound, as evidenced by "What's Next", with a repertoire packed with tremendous songs like "Loved By You", "Finish Line", "Something's Comin' Our Way", and powerful covers such as the traditional blues "Rock Me Baby", Bob Diddley's exhilarating "Mona", and The Doors' frenetic "Roadhouse Blues".
