(2022) Allan Holdsworth’s Legacy – The Nineteen Men of Tain
Review:
Allan‘s Legacy is a collective of world renown musicians who joined forces together to pay homage to the memory of the man who changed the guitar forever. Paraphrasing the title of one of the albums by Allan Holdsworth, The Nineteen Men Of Tain is a tribute record where each of the nineteen artist guests contributed with their own personal style. The 13-track album features 19 artists, as the album’s title suggests, and features a stunning array of special guests, including guitarists Mike Stern and John Etheridge, drummer Paul Wertico and pianist Jason Rebello. “I’ve had the privilege of listening to this already. I would like to thank everyone involved. I love it.” (Lynne Holdsworth, daughter of Allan Holdsworth) The idea for the project was conceived by Italian guitarist Enrico Pinna and UK drummer Ollie Usiskin, in a London pub back in 2017, the year of Allan’s death. They explain: “It was about a week after Allan’s passing. We were shocked and we felt we needed to do something special to remember him and to honour his legacy. The idea was to create a tribute album which would include outstanding musicians performing Allan’s songs for a charity we would create, to host a music contest and festival in his honour.” The logistical issues were significant, but they managed to make the recording happen: “We were thrilled to see how many great musicians agreed to play on our project straight away, due to their respect for Allan and his music. This has been a four-year journey…recording, sending tracks all over the world to record the individual guests, mixing and mastering the tracks, finding solutions for creating a new festival and the music contest…all slowed down by pandemic lockdowns and many other obstacles, but we are here now, and we are proud to have found our way to recognise this legendary guitarist in an appropriate manner.” “Congratulations on the album. You’ve done the tunes really well. Your playing is great – really intelligent and well phrased. A lot of the versions I like a bit better than the originals!!! (Although I haven’t heard them for years!). Quite happy with my track, so well done !” (John Etheridge, special guest guitarist).
