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 R.
