Larry “Rhino” Reinhardt’s bio includes a stint with Iron Butterfly and as the super group featuring ex-Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans Captain Beyond. Before all of that he played in The Second Coming with future Allman Brothers Dickie Betts and Berry Oakley.

Now the man called Rhino has snuck back into the spotlight and released an amazing album of good old fashioned, kick ass southern rock n’ roll. Backing him up on the CD are Dickie Betts’ band Great Southern. The bottom line here is that there are nine songs that totally kick ass. We are talking three to four chords and more pentatonic guitar licks than can be found on Foghat Live.

If this sucker had come out in 1974 then Rhino would have been on the fast track with the Allman’s, Skynyrd, the Outlaws and The Marshall Tucker Band. Back in the Day is a throwback to loud and proud rebel rock where doobs are burned, beer is cold and the most important thing to do in a day is hang out at the park with the radio turned up loud. I love it!
