Santana Inspires
This CD is just another example of his skills and moving music. Carlos Santana continues to inspire music lovers as he has done for decades.


OK As A Supplement To The Original Greatest Hits
The first three songs Persuasion, You Don't Care, and a live version of Black Magic Woman are definite keepers. If you want a mere quick study of Santana, this sequel compilation to the first greatest hits set is certainly appropriate. Also quite special is Guajarina, L'Touisanit De Overture, and the mellow Stormy.

Personally, I would explore the first three classic Santana recordings as those CD's have many other high quality tunes not available on this compilation. Also, Carlos Santana has so much talent brimming in his fingers that it would be worthy to check out his other CD's to gather a better feel for his latin flavored styles which always soothe the soul. However, this sequel is fine for those who merely want the quick study approach.


its embaracing!
In that case why Vol 2 contains at least two (didnt check,maybe more ) songs that were included on Vol 1?Thinking that these cds cover a period of 15 years makes it impossible to understand why there are repeated songs (no matter how succesful they are )when others are left outside. Who is responsible for the song list ?!
I guess "best vol 2" is ( or should be) in addition to "best vol 1" for buyers who enjoyed vol 1 and would like to have some more Santana.
Its a shame that so far there is no "best of santana " that offers a full retrospective of his work .


Not every cut a winner, but enough winners to sell the CD
His brilliance shines now as ever. This is a real "best of" CD, which presents the most memorable cuts from Santana's earliest CD's. . . and long may it wave. The earlier cuts are more convincing than the later ones, and the lack of remastering is annoying, as surely work of this caliber deserves the better presentation. Die hard fans, or those wanting to explore Santana, will do well to give this CD a hard look (listen. ).


Hope you're feeling better...
The deeper tracks from Abraxus included here are more than worth while. This is the Santana "best of" for people who don't need a collection of songs that can be heard on any classic rock station within minutes of tuning in.
