Free Music Notes for Santana III
Free Music Review: hold on, it's an energetic ride!
Hit: 5 Stars
Santana's third album is pretty fantastic. Let me take that back- *consistently* fantastic. I really had no problem with any of the songs. I didn't think any of them were a few minutes overlong, and I certainly didn't think any of the tracks were filler-ish. After the album had ended, I felt like I had just gone through the biggest roller coaster ride of my life (and I'm afraid of roller coasters!)
Compared to Abraxas and Caravanserai, the latin percussion beats that made Santana so legendary and famous are *extremely* loud, heavy and nonstop on their third album. I wasn't expecting to hear an album with so much energy and a nonstop partying atmosphere but that's exactly what the album is. This is totally a hard rock/jam rock album with the volume turned up a few notches higher than usual. I wasn't bored at all. There's also a fairly frequent amount of vocal work, too. Always played with melody, and a feeling of total outdoor freedom. I can just picture myself dancing the night away to this wonderful music.
The guitar playing, the heavy amounts of percussion and latin rhythms, the sparkling production... this is one album all rock and roll fans must have in their collection!
Santana III Poster
The last hurrah of the original Santana band, which had stunned the world with its fiery performance at Woodstock two years before, Santana (frequently called "Santana III" so as not to confuse it with the group's eponymous 1969 debut) is an impressive combination of tightly constructed Latin-fueled pop songs ("No One to Depend On," "Everybody's Everything," "Everything's Coming Our Way") and sprawling jams ("Guajira," "Toussaint L'Overture," "Jungle Strut"). For his part, Carlos Santana hurls lightning bolts from his guitar throughout but offers opportunities for other band members, such as keyboardist Gregg Rolie and recently added guitarist Neal Schon (both of whom would rise to fame with Journey), a chance to shine as well. The 1998 reissue of this album adds three bonus tracks from a 1971 Fillmore West performance: "Batuka," "Jungle Strut," and "Gumbo." --Daniel DurchholzPop Music CDs
