When you say Carlos Santana, what comes to my mind is few 2000s pop hits he had, like Smooth with Rob Thomas. Quite boring and unimpressive affairs. But it seems Santana had a different art life before - great Woodstock concert and Abraxas album soon after. Carlos really is a talented guitarist with a knack for good songwriting as well. Really good album, I'm a new fan of old Santana, it seems.
