Bluesy Psychedelic, the latest album by Mahogany Rush, is a captivating collection of songs that fuse blues and psychedelic rock with impressive musicianship. Led by guitarist Frank Marino, the Canadian power trio delivers a dynamic and diverse set of tracks that showcase their virtuosity and creativity.
From the opening riff of "Do It" to the closing notes of "Jive Baby," the album brims with energy and intensity. Marino's guitar playing is both soulful and explosive, as he effortlessly shifts from blues licks to searing solos. Bassist Mick Mahon and drummer Dave Goode provide a solid and propulsive foundation, anchoring the songs with tight rhythms and grooves.
Highlights of the album include the funky "I'm a King Bee," the hard-driving "Dragonfly," and the epic "The World Anthem," which features soaring guitar harmonies and a powerful message of unity. The band also shows their softer side with the dreamy "Moonlight Lady" and the melancholic "Tryin' Anyway."
