It's likely you're already a fan of Carlos Santana, or else why are you even thinking about buying this CD.  So if you're already a fan, this is a no-brainer; you must own this CD.  It's classic Carlos, with incredible  collaborations from start to finish.  "Smooth" with Rob Thomas is  just a classic song, "El Farol" feels like nostalgic Santana  music.  I just feel great whenever I play this CD.
