Carlos Santana must wake up every day thanking his lucky stars for Clive Davis. For most of the past four decades, the producer/record company executive has helped keep Santana on commercial track whenever he's wanted to veer. And it was Davis who, more than a decade ago, started putting Santana together with young, hot singers to help keep his name alive...

Sound: Santana, coming back after his ultimate album Supernatural failed to impress with his new album All That I Am. With all the starpower etc. Santana managed to get only one hit single by the name of Just feel better. Apart from about 2 or 3 tracks, this album was quite useless. The biggest disappointment for me was, Trinity, the one with Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Santana...

Sound: The sound was unlike any other CD I've listened to. All of the songs had amazing solos, particularly guitar. He blended many forms of music, using artists such as POD and Chad Kroger. // 10 Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics flowed with the music, using seasoned vocalists to coordinate the direction the song was traveling in. The singers were comparible to Santana's previous vocalist, beyond compare to anything else...

A dozen axe-based rockers from Zeppelin, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, etc undergo the Santana treatment - and, as ever these days, he has an equal number of guest vocalists on hand to help him. The 12 are divisible into thirds - four are reasonable covers that have been "Santana-ised" without offending the ear, while another four just don't work on any level...

Sound: Well, where do I start, I was looking forward to hear this CD, when I heard Santana + Classics = EPIC, or so I thought... I started the CD and I hear Whole Lotta Love, pretty good job, I wasn't impressed though, I had high hopes about this one, and Chris Cornell was good, after that one I can say it was a downward spiral... I wasn't surprised by Can't you hear me knocking(Scott Weiland) and my opinion lowered a bit...

Sound: To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the multiplatinum, Grammy-winning album Supernatural, Carlos Santana has released a "Legacy Edition" that includes all the familiar favorites, as well as a 2nd disk full of hand-picked rarities. While some might consider a decade a fairly short period of time to revisit any album, Supernatural was a phenomenon (selling 15 million units in the United States alone) that is worthy of another look...

Sound: Santana: Abraxas is probably one of the best fusion-jazz records ever produced. This is one of the first recording by the Santana band, and in my opinion, the best. It has a great jazz/latin sound with catchy rock riffs and a smooth, beautiful guitar tone throughout the CD performed by Carlos Santana. Another aspect of the CD that sticks out to me is the percussion. There are many bongo drum parts put on this record, and it is really great...

Sound: This album contains a musical combination made between Carlos Santana, his brother Jorge and his nephew Carlos Hernández, as a result of the colaborations that this two guys made on 1992 Milagro album. Santana Brothers features several instrumental music styles: Blues, rock, ska or ballad. It's great to hear the sound produced by Carlos's PRS guitar, together with the guitars played by Jorge and Carlos Hernández...

Sound: I must say this is the best Santana CD i ever heard. This album is composed by live material recorded during Santana's 1993 tour, and contains live versions of the songs which turned Carlos and the band into famous rock stars: "Black Magic Woman", "Oye Como Va", "Samba Pa', 'Ti", "Europa" or "Soul Sacrifice", among others...
