Info zu Road Games (Remastered)

Short but sweet: this 24-plus-minute re-release of an '80s-era solo effort originally appeared as a vinyl EP, and has never before been issued on CD or download. It is a unique mix of great vocals with a more rocking, bluesy, and jazzy quasi-mainstream song-themed balladic thrust. This release showcases Allan Holdsworth playing less "out there." Don't misunderstand -- the guitar is amazing: multi-voiced, fusion-fired, ethereally chorded, delightfully crystalline clear, note-flourished, and swooningly embellished. Add in the vocals of Jack Bruce for that Cream flashback or the I.O.U. band feel of Paul Williams' crooning, back to back with killer bass by Jeff Berlin and tastefully poised drums by Chad Wackerman, and you have fusion-rock bliss.Holdsworth addicts have waited a very long time for this to appear in the CD format. So go for it. It sounds great all over again. The original album cover graphics and notes are included.

Influential guitarist Allan Holdsworth's "Road Games" is an album 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.
