Did you ever wonder what it's like to have your state of mind chemically altered? Grab your headphones and turn this up! This studio album exudes the energy of a live performance and it has some KILLER mastering. From the high energy of LITTLE SEXY ANNIE to the "lay down and die" lilting of IT'S BEGUN TO RAIN, this is one of the best (in my opinion) from a band that's been around in one form or another for over 30 years. Frank Marino is still cranking out some great music today but you should hear where he's coming from to really appreciate all he's done.

A classic! One of the best of progressive rock from the '70s. No hit song, but one of the best is Dragonfly, (I just saw Mahogany Rush October 2006 and they played it exceptionally). In the style of Jimi Hendrix, yet complete originals from Frank Marino and his band.

Mahogany Rush was not one of those main stream bands from the 70's and 80's. That is what makes them so great to listen to today. You didn't get a chance to hear these tunes on your local radio station (their mistake). If you are on the fence about purchasing any Old Mahogany Rush CD's or Albums, Do It Now. These CD's are not being reproduced and when they are gone the price of these will go thru the roof!

I gotta say, for an album recorded in the mid seventies, the sound quality is quite strong. But man, the wicked guitar playing!!! Frank Marino stands out in my ears. The rest of the band play a tight rhythmical, funky psychedelic wash of sounds together., I definitely recommend this one!
