Jeff’s Playlist: Feb. 4, 2022

This is Santana’s fourth album and was quite a bit dif­fer­ent from the first three. It took some time for me to get into, but even­tu­al­ly, it became my favorite Santana record­ing. Some of the orig­i­nal musi­cians had left the group, which accounts for the change in style. I like it.
