Allan Holdsworth - Road Games (CD)

Holdsworth-Road Games Review

By dairususaf  Oct 10, 2002

One can't merely refer to Allan Holdworth as a great guitarist, or merely fantastic. His musical genius is singular and very powerful to the ears. Holdsworth plays with an unmatched speed and fluidity that is just mind-boggling. Road Games is a stunn...ing collection of great instrumental and vocal jazz fusion style music (although I consider players of this caliber to be in their own genre) and must be heard to be believed.It's amazing to hear the deep emotion and dynamic technique that is so prevalent in the work of Allan Holdsworth. Road Games, like his other works such as Hard Hat Area, is replete with energetic jaw-dropping chops, great guitar-synth work, and tight instrumentation all around. The thing that is most amazing about this recording and others by him, is the range of emotion that comes through with every single note on every solo on every track.Another nice piece of work by a legendary, truly fantastic, peerless musician.
