	[[File:16men.jpg\|200px\|right]]"The Sixteen Men Of Tain" is a 2000 solo album by Allan Holdsworth. The album features Allan on guitar and SynthAxe. This album introduced a new band: [[Dave Carpenter]] and [[Gary Novak]], plus a new sound: This time, it was Allan’s own tunes, but with a softer, jazzier feel. Carpenter played acoustic bass for the majority of the album, and Novak followed up. Perhaps due to the band feeling, as well as what seemed like new inspiration, it is often seen as one of Allan’s best albums. The title track and “The Drums Were Yellow” stand out as guitar statements, while “Above And Below” is one of the defintive Holdsworth chord melody ballads. ~~This~~ album ~~has~~ also been released in a new edition with the added tracks "San Onofre" and "Material Unreal", which is the version currently available on Manifesto.

	"The Sixteen Men Of Tain" represented a departure from some of Holdsworth's previous work. It was a jazzier offering, featuring a trio format with Gary Novak on drums and Dave Carpenter on bass. The album's title was inspired by the Glenmorangie distillery in Tain, Scotland, known for its single malt whiskey. Holdsworth appreciated the hand-crafted, high-quality aspect of the whiskey, which he saw as resonating with the album's music. The album was recorded and produced in Holdsworth's home studio, where he was able to experiment with different sounds and textures, including acoustic bass, to create the desired musical atmosphere. Holdsworth emphasized that the choice of musicians could significantly influence the interpretation of his original music. He appreciated the unique qualities that Gary Novak and Dave Carpenter brought to the recording, contributing to a different direction and feel.
