Frank Marino-The Power Of Rock and Roll (1981)-Juggernaut (1982)

In 1981, Canadian guitarist Frank Marino parted ways with Mahogany Rush to begin releasing his subsequent albums under his own name. His first solo album was "The Power of Rock and Roll", released on Columbia Records. However, his backing musicians on this album remained the same as in his band, starting with his brother Vince Marino on guitar, bassist Paul Harwood, and drummer Jim Ayoub. What didn't change was his characteristic incendiary style, as demonstrated in the tracks "The Power of Rock and Roll", "Play My Music", "Stay With Me", and "Young Man", while the exhilarating hard rock emerges in the fantastic guitar tour de force "Runnin' Wild" and the dizzying "Go Strange". A year later, Frank Marino paid homage to AOR sounds with the release of "Juggernaut", in which the man considered the Canadian Hendrix showed himself to be quite comfortable setting aside his guitar hero to focus on the songs. An album featuring tracks such as "For Your Love", "Stories Of a Hero" or "Strange Dreams".
