Tracks list

Coming on the heels of some rather mediocre efforts, The Sixteen Men of Tain is
startlingly superb. Holdsworth has stripped away the distracting banks of
keyboards and allowed his soaring, gliding guitar to shine through in a way it
hasnt since the 1980s. Even the Synthaxe, Holdsworths signature guitar
synthesizer, sounds organic and immediate, not to mention far less prevalent
than on previous albums. Dave Carpenters acoustic bass is a radical departure
(check out his solo on the title track), as are Walt Fowlers two guest
appearances on trumpet. The Drums Were Yellow, a burning guitar/drum duet
tribute to the late Tony Williams, is also a first. Gary Novaks drumming is
appropriately complex and riveting on this and six other tracks. (Holdsworths
old compatriot Chad Wackerman sits in for Downside Up.) In short, this album is
full of fresh ideas and unadulterated improvisational brilliance — just
when it was beginning to seem that Holdsworths best work was behind him. ~ David
