CD ReviewsCome on Allen, your holding out on us!! Jorge Barbarosa | the back 9 | 11/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "AH defies category, he is firstly a musician of the highest caliber. The depth of his composition is astounding. He has always pushed himself to the highest level and has never been satisfied. That hunger has allowed us fortunate listeners to enjoy an artist at the top of his form, yet always inspired in his continuance of evolution. And so 16 Men of Tain achieves what it sets out to do. A return to the apex, AH is in top form on this release, his sidemen for this outing truly add value to the tracks as only top-flight musicianship can. I appreciate the trip concept and the lack of keyboards although evident, is something of a relief, now one can sit back and listen to Mr. Holdsworth tonal pallet in it's purest form.
What we the listening aficionados MUST do is get the word out to all of our friends and associates. Champion this artistic giant. Purchase his products. Write to venues and associations to support his efforts. There was a period an Allan's career when his work was going unnoticed and the artist was in dire circumstances. Thanks to good patrons and friends he was able to rebuild his production base and continue on. It's so wonderful to see his work succeed, especially in a "biz" which caters to mass-market appeal and not the vast musical palette, which is really out there beyond the corporate understanding. That is where the art and the artist dwell and that is where Allan Holdsworth has made his musical abode. The 16 Men of Tain shows us both the art and the artistry of Allan Holdsworth. Enjoy! " |
