Maxoom

Since Frank did pay tribute to Jimi Hendrix by "Dedicating" this first Mahogany Rush LP. It only seems fair to say that if Jimi did have a conversation with Frank he would no doubt have said to him "Frank, my whole life I wish I could have put together a band and recorded an album as tight and diverse as you did." MAXOOM Stands on it's own as an lp. Nothing like it has ever been done before or since. From Rock, Jazz, Blues and all points in between. The first song BUDDY is a testimonial to a soul brother who touched a life, then passed away. And you want to live to make him proud of you. Going through a song by song review is fruitless.

Maxoom is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Mahogany Rush, released in October 1972 in Canada and in 1973 in the United States. The group's frontman Frank Marino is credited as the writer of all songs and the album's producer. Songs "Buddy" and "All in Your Mind" were previously released as a single in May 1972.

The album's front cover includes part of the central panel from Hans Memling's painting The Last Judgment. The phrase Dedicated to Jimi Hendrix is printed at the back cover.
