CARAVANSERAI

Santana peaked with this one. I have never been a fan of the vocals he used, and this one uses vocals in only a few songs and they are smaller parts. I could never really get into his previous works because of those vocals. This album has a great fusion of jazz, rock, latin, and even some psychadelia. What an excellent album. Santana's always had one of my favorite tones in guitar, and here he demostrates great tone and precise playing. Highlights would be the softer and striking "Song of the Wind," The percussive attack-ridden "La Fuente del Ritmo" and the great jam of "Every Step of the Way," though each track is great. Should be in everyone's collection.
