It is his heart and spirit in the music. "Essential Santana" is just that. Great music and his voice in rhythm with it. If you like other Santana music, you will like this one as well. .


santana sucks
tabla's to annoying cheesy crappy solo's for 40 mins. . . . no thanks. This is the elevator music from hell.


BAD EDIT

The songs cut into each other. The Essential SANTANA
This album is a really really bad edit.
Tracks from the albums these songs were taken from start a few bars
before the song which is supose to be playing starts.
I like carlos work very much, but the producers of this album really suck
big time.
I am thinking about re-editing this album and burning it for myself.
It drives me nuts.
That is why I could not recomend this album.
Buy the individual songs and put it together yourself.
Don't wast your money on album unless you plan on doing your own edit to fix it up.

ULTIMATE SANTANA on the other hand is a very good edit.
But it does not contain all the tracks found on Essential.
.


A must-have for the Classic Rock fan!
(Almost all the rest are forgettable. Owner of an extensive Classic Rock collection, mostly "Best of" compilations, I found this to be hugely worthwhile! There's about 10 (out of 35?) songs that prove to be as good as anything else I have. ) 5-star songs I've never heard on the radio. I couldn't be happier with it!.


Nearly perfect
That track is "Hope You're Feeling Better" from Abraxas. The Essential Santana, like most releases in the Essential series is missing one key track. Other than that the track listing is stellar, except it would've been nice to have the studio version of "Dance Sister Dance".
