My Take
Frank Marino is the kind of guitarist I wish more people talked about. A Montreal native, born in 1954, he led Mahogany Rush and spent the 1970s drawing constant comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, which is a heavy thing to carry and still build your own voice. Being called one of the most underrated players of the decade tells me the recognition never quite matched the talent, and that gap is exactly what makes him interesting to me. His 2021 retirement closes a long, stubbornly independent run. I'd point any rock fan toward his catalog and let the playing speak for itself.
