      I agree! I had someone tell me he was a nobody a few years ago and was blown away! That album was a huge part of my childhood! And man those solos were pure fire! He is definitely underrated! Which really sucks!

Allan is still head and shoulders above everyone else to me. Sure he played at warp speeds which everyone does now but his sense of harmony and composition is untouchable. Glad to hear him getting some love from other players…
