Well, the endless axe adventures of Allan Holdsworth down through his helter-skelter career has left dents in the brains of many a guitarist, (my included). Whoopgansh's John Erickson is severely dented by the Holdsworthian monolithic guitar benchmark. Erickson is no copycat but has caught the drift of what happens in a Holdsworth tune perfectly. His band; Bill Paul on drums, Drum KAT/synth and Keith Norton on bass follow along easily at breakneck speeds, stop-n-go time sigs, and accentuate unison jams, rim-shot tight. Erickson's attacks on solos are clean, expressively-driven and fly along at legato phrasings that will make most fusion fans drool...
