Title: Shaman is a shame
Review: I'm a long-time Carlos fan of 30 years and have bought everything he's released. I find myself very disappointed in this record......he sounds like a guest on his own album. It doesn't sound like he's driving the car, just riding along. Supernatural was a fine record and had it's moments, but here, it seems like they're trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Am I the only one who hears Carlos just playing these uninspired blues cliches over and over again? His playing doesn't flow as it once did, rather the notes come in spurts, and I find myself being able to predict where he's going next......hate that feeling. Here's hoping that Carlos makes another album from his heart and leaves all the guests in the Green Room.
Is the review positive or negative?
