Promise of a Fisherman, on Borboletta.

In terms of material, the Milagro album isn't his strongest, but his playing is. Very much so.

Some classic Carlos on this one:

**Marcel_A** · 09-17-2021, 01:15 PM

I really like how he uses his wah!

"Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock. Daaaaaamn.

**Doctor Jeff** · 09-17-2021, 10:53 PM

Europa from Moonflower. Beautiful melody, and the notes just float in the air.

Come to think of it…the whole album’s awesome, and his tone is perfect.

**L50EF15** · 09-18-2021, 05:38 PM

Europa, the version on Amigos.

**Flat** · 09-18-2021, 09:31 PM

Europa +1. Just magnificent.

**BigDaddyLoveHandles** · 09-19-2021, 01:52 PM

Who else is doing air guitar on those long notes in Europa?

**Flat** · 09-19-2021, 03:11 PM

That or a bong hit.

**ronjazz** · 09-28-2021, 05:24 PM

I have a hard time telling one from another, although I can always recognize the tone.

. . . the back cover was unique too:

**BigDaddyLoveHandles** · 09-28-2021, 07:08 PM

Ah yes, Sri Chin-wag.

I have that album. I loved their take on A Love Supreme at the time, but now I find it a bit meandering and overindulgent. I still like their albums together. I think they both add a little extra to the other. My favorite song of theirs is Friends on the Electric Guitarist (JM) album. Now THAT's some tone I can get into.

**P.J.** · 10-09-2021, 06:00 AM

I like it because it is single coils and staccatto and reminds me of Middle School.

**kris** · 10-09-2021, 06:09 AM

In fact, I started playing guitar in the late 60's thanks to Carlos Santana.
There is my small tributte:

Great minds think alike. This is my favorite Santana Album and Song of the Wind is a great song. I'd follow that with Santana 3, Lotus, Moon Flower and his work with Alice Coltrane.
