ALLAN HOLDSWORTH - ROAD GAMES

• Allan Holdsworth: Road Games
      (2003, cd ep, --, gmma)

Jazz fusion guitar great Allan Holdsworth released “Road Games” in 1983 (!!). The album featured Chad Wackerman on drums and mentioned Frank Zappa and Mark Pinske in the Thank You section.
You can read more about that here:

The EP got re-released on CD in 2003 with slightly altered artwork and still carrying the same names in the Thank You section, but also with liner notes by Eddie Jobson who said:

Frank Zappa described him as “the most interesting guitarist on the planet” – most musicians would agree.
and
It was my privilege to introduce Zappa to the playing of Holdsworth.

Here's a live version of the title track:

• Allan Holdsworth: Guitar
• Jimmy Johnson: Bass
• Chad Wackerman: Drums
• Paul Williams: Vocals

In the meantime, Steve Vai has been involved in championing unreleased Allan Holdsworth live material, including the restored "Complete Yoshi's Shows" !
