Allan Holdsworth
Road Games
The Story
Influential guitarist Allan Holdsworth's "Road Games" is the compact disc re-release of the most coveted Holdsworth release ever! The album features the original six tracks with Jeff Berlin on bass guitar and Chad Wackerman on drums, with special guest Jack Bruce on vocals. Paul Williams also provides guest vocals on one track, making this a three instrumental, three vocal release. three instrumentals, and three vocal tracks. Nevertheless, many critics and fans call 1983's "Road Games" one of Holdsworth's finest (and definitive) recordings, and essential listening for any fan of the electric guitar, legato playing, and jazz/fusion in general. Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
