[[File:Estherphillips.jpeg|right|200px]]"Capricorn Princess" is a 1977 album by American soul/R&B singer [[Esther Phillips]]. This oddity features Allan plucking some harmonics on pedal steel guitar on a strange session on the song “Boy I really tied one on”, recorded while he was in the U.S. For completists only! | |||

First, it is quite bizarre to have Allan appearing on an outright disco tune, and even more so it is bizarre that he is credited on pedal steel guitar! The explanation is that this album was recorded at the same time as "Velvet Darkness", and on Kudu records, which was a subsidiary of Creed Taylor's CTI Records. So, it makes sense that he would be engaged for a session. Still, it is strange that he is credited on pedal steel. Now, Allan has played pedal steel on a few other occasions, and he has talked affectionately about it in the book "Reaching for the uncommon chord". | First, it is quite bizarre to have Allan appearing on an outright disco tune, and even more so it is bizarre that he is credited on pedal steel guitar!

The album was apparently reissued by Reel Music in 2010, so if you're a Holdsworth completist, you may be able to track this one down. I've got the original vinyl album somewhere... | The album was apparently reissued by Reel Music in 2010, so if you're a Holdsworth completist, you may be able to track this one down.
