At first glance you might think what would Carlos have in common with such a wide field of diverse talent?  Carlos could always play with just about anyone. He has shown it throughout the 30 odd years he has been ever present in music.  He influenced a whole generation of music and here he shows he has huge ears.  There is something here for everyone.  There is the signature Santana sound but when he collaborates he meets the other artist halfway as they do him.  This one deserves the accolades because it was simply the most musical recording in pop in the last few years.  Yes there are production values but there is also a loose jammin' field. Things are not set and polished to a high gloss.  Carlos wails on this one but he picks his spot and never at the expense of the pieces.  It's great to see Carlos "rediscovered" since he has been such an lost treasure over the years.  Yes many have been aware of him. He has his following and has played with the very very best but in this age of hype and bombast. It's nice to see someone who deserves the accolades come to the fore of pop and turn out such a successful recording.  "Love of My Life", "Migra", "The Calling", "Wishing It Was",  "El Farol", "Do You Like the Way" and "Smooth" are real highpoints.  This one is keeper.
