"Amazon.com Review on Carlos Santana - 21st Oct 2005



Carlos Santana plus his group Santana and all those skilled musicians that he collaborates with musically, make for an eclectic mix of Latin American styled rock music, making him one of the worlds very best.



This album is perhaps ideal for those who would enjoy to listening to just some of the amazing width of Santana's creative talents.



This is also an interesting album, comprising a very varied mixture of tracks that are not merely in one single style, unlike some of Santana's albums which gel together in a more singular theme which flows, some of which I have repeatedly listened to over many years and still get a great deal of pleasure from listening to again and again.



Although its also like most of Santana's music in that it is almost impossible to hum along with, unless you actually have the music playing at the time!



But as always Carlos Santana makes the guitar do things that affect the listener in magical ways.



But this album is not just about him alone, as one of the world's top notch, it's also far wider than that, as a result of those skilled musicians that he generously chooses to work with and to share some of the magic with, to the benefit us all ultimately."
