This first release from this powerhouse band, on the heels of their appearance at the Woodstock Festival, was a revelation for many rock fans. The blend of Latin rhythms with rock beats was made more remarkable by Carlos Santana's searing guitar work. While the sound on the initial CD release was flat, this remastered edition boasts crisp sound and a bonus of three songs from the Woodstock performance, including the riveting "Soul Sacrifice." Worth the price, even if you've got the earlier version.

Tim Sheridan, All-Music Guide



"A brilliant combination of rock with Latin and African influences, prominently featuring the organ playing and husky vocals of Gregg Rolie; the energetic, precise drumming of Mike Shrieve; and, especially, the soaring, immediately identifiable guitar sound of Carlos Santana. Justifiably a massive hit and the prototype for an assembly line of similar records. Contains "Evil Ways" and "Soul Sacrifice".

ROLLING STONE ALBUM GUIDE ****



"Ein gepfeffertes CD-Trio für heiße Mitsommernachtsträume - zum Midprice!"

C. Dick in Audio 6/98



By the time Santana arrived on the San Francisco scene in 1968, the Grateful Dead's freeform antics were already legendary. But Santana was a jam band of another order--fueled by Latin rhythms, blues, bebop, and straight-ahead rock. Having set the audience at the 1969 Woodstock festival on its collective ear, the band did the same for the nation with its self-titled debut, released later that summer. Songs such as "Evil Ways," "Jingo," and "Soul Sacrifice" contain extraordinary ensemble playing, powered by percolating congas and timbales and topped by the grippingly human cry of Carlos Santana's guitar. The 1998 reissue of the album contains three bonus tracks recorded live at Woodstock: "Savor," "Soul Sacrifice," and "Fried Neckbones."

Waiting

(Instrumental)


Evil Ways

You've got to change your evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.
You've go to change... baby
And every word that I say, it's true.
You've got me running and hiding
All over town.
You've got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.

When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging ëround... baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change

Organ Solo:

(Repeat 2nd verse)

Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah ...


Shades of Time

Tell me the things that you see
Or is it some time that you need
All of the things that you've done
I'm certain that you had your fun

Go out and make it better
You can make it if you try
Try to make it better

Somebody calls in the night
Says he can make things go right
I know there'll soon come a day
Things will start falling your way

I'll try to help if I can
So don't hide your head in the sand, oh no
Why are you feeling so low
You're wondering where will you go


Savor

Persuasion

You got persuasion
I can’t help myself
You got persuasion
I can’t help myself
Something about you baby
Keeps me from goin’ to somebody else

Yeah, any way you want
Now, now baby
You put me in a daze
All the time
Look whacha got for me baby
Like the devil in disguise

Something about you baby
You’re one
You’re one of a kind

Oh this spell you put on me
Has just outdone me babe
I can’t keep the rain from comin down

Look out now
I can’t get out from under
But I wouldn’t want to
Even if I can

Something about you baby
Make me feel
Make me feel like a man


Treat

(Instrumental)


You Just Don't Care

I told you
You’d have to leave
And you listened with a cryin stare.
Now you’ve got the nerve
To tell me baby
Yeah, Yeah, a no, no
You don't care
You just don’t care baby.
Sun
Turns back at the sight of you
And your evil only clouds the air.

You you just laugh at what you do.
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hum
Now you don’t care.
Hey
You don’t care for me.

Your feelings smashed
Now you’re leaving to find
Someone who’ll dare
To change all the wrong
Like you done to me
Hey, Hey, Hey, No, No
You donít care.
Hey, Hey, Hey, you don’t car


Soul Sacrifice

(Instrumental)
