With tracks from Santana's recent "Supernatural" album having received blanket international radio coverage, this record - which provides the template for "Smooth" and virtually all other "latin rock" dance music over the past 30 years - is clearly in desperate need of some more serious interest. Okay, it's less sophisticated but it's infused throughout with excellent songs and highly enthusiastic playing, and... it contains two of the most infectious dance tracks ever made: I defy anyone to put "Jin-go-la-ba" or "Soul Sacrifice" on their CD player and not get an immediate, positive reaction regardless of age or musical preference.
Good enough credentials on their own to justify its inclusion on any list of essential 60's albums. But there's more... because this is also an important record! Not only did it catapult one of the world's most distinctive guitarists onto the international stage but it re-asserted the value of "good-time" dance music - the essence of rock & roll - at a time when folk based introspection and heavy rock bombast were threatening to take over. Playing tracks from this album, Santana's massive success at Woodstock proved that generating simple "let your hair down" enjoyment was still an essential ingredient in "progressive" rock.
As such, it fully justifies "classic" status and vastly much more recognition – best of all, it will, unlike our Ken’s little offering, give you many hours/years of enjoyment while seriously impressing your friends!
Santana's first album and of a style they never revisited in the studio but which introduced so many of the favourite tracks from their concert appearances over the next 30 years.
Simply brilliant stuff.
