"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 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. | |||
