Free Music Review: Kharma music
Hit: 5 Stars
When this album was released I heard that Carlos Santana and Bonnie Raitt rescued a no-longer-sought-after John Lee by making one of the first "collaboration" projects. Hooker was supposedly pretty down-and-out. But, having him collaborate with well-known younger artists (including Carlos and Bonnie) gave him a new twist to his music and a much broader audience. With a new foundation, John Lee went on to make 5 or 6 strong selling albums. He topped the blues charts for nearly a decade after this came out. The music on "The Healer" is great. The title song, "The Healer" is by itself worth the price of admission and earns my 5 stars for this cd, even before listening to another cut. On this song Carlos Santana proves his frequent assertion that all of the best modern music is derived from the blues. Carlos places John Lee into a stone cold Latin context and the two of them come out with, of course, amazing Latin Blues. Simultaneously intense and totally relaxed. It's one of those rare songs I can listen to at any time, love it and never tire of it. The rest of the cd is very, very good. More than worth having. The Hooker-Raitt song smolders - a singnature Raitt performance. The other cuts also stand tall. But, "The Healer" is just a classic song that trancends genres.
Kharma? Well, sometime around the year 2000, Santana's own sales had become pretty meager and rather irrelevant in the record business. He was putting out very good cd's every year which went nowhere on the charts. So, guess what - he used the same collaboration idea that he used to rescue John Lee. That resulted in his "Supernatural" cd, a huge multi-million seller, one of the biggest sellers of the last decade!
