Release Review:
---------------
Juggernaut was Frank Marino's second solo release for CBS
since the dissolution of Mahogany Rush, and would prove to
be his final release for a major, subsequently recording for
Maze Records and others. Happily for CBS it was the most
successful release of his tenure on the label, with the lead-off
track "Strange Dreams" garnering enough airplay to qualify as
a hit; even stranger for fans of maestro Marino, "Strange Dreams"
doesn't have a guitar solo, but is propelled by rhythmic interplay
with a synthesizer! Marino's guitar work throughout his career has
been outstanding; channelling the spirit of Jimi Hendrix through
his Gibson SG with his own stylistic flourishes, he constantly
manages to display speed, precision, and feel through a considerable
range of tempos and styles. Juggernaut could easily be a Mahogany
Rush album, as Marino fluidly struts his stuff in front of a rocking
rhythm section, effortlessly moving through psychedelia, hard rock,
and blues metal. Headbanger highlights include the eight-minute
still-topical troop tribute "Stories of a Hero," and the incendiary
title track blazes to an explosive crescendo. All in all, a consistently
strong release by an underappreciated artist. ~ by Laurie Mercer
