Jeff Loomis, former Nevermore guitarist, is back with his second solo album after 4 years since the debut, “Zero Order Phase”. The guys that helped him in the recordings are: the guitarist Joe Nurre (Shaded Enmity), the bassist Gregory Macklin (System Divide, Ordinance) and the drummer Anup Sastry (Intervals, Skyharbor). The album was produced by Aaron Smith (7 Horns 7 Eyes) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Paradise Lost, Opeth, Katatonia, Amon Amarth, etc.). As expected, the sound is amazing.
"Rusty Miles" takes you on a musical journey within American music and culture with its 12 tracks firmly covering Rock, Blues, Country and lot more.
The main theme of the album is the journey itself, the road that leads us to a woman's love, the countryside enlightened by an angel and a child, the miles that still keep us far from our city, destroyed by an hurricane.
“Allan Holdsworth changed the way people play the electric guitar, both musically and physically. He is a true genius”.
Joe Satriani, November 2004
In Science and Arts you can find two kinds of people: Those who work and follow the secure road in the applied field and those who break the barriers, expand the well-known paths and open new possibilities for all the others. Allan Holdsworth undoubtedly belongs to the second category, where the personal cost is very big, and only giants can handle it.
