1001 Albums Summary

I’m wholly unfamiliar with Santana’s work, but being a jazz head and listening to this for the first time had me mesmerized. The layers, the fantastic guitar playing, those incredible vocals—god damn. Definitely listening to this one again.

I think many point to this as one of the best live albums of all time, but really it’s just for my generation the most influential. I grew up with tracks from this playing the radio every single day, but never listened all the way through. In short, it’s good most of the time, great a select few times. God I love that Lead Belly cover though.
