Biography

When Carlos Santana was first approached by his friend Clive Davis to discuss the record executive’s idea for a new concept album, the legendary guitarist and bandleader was reticent, as is his nature. After all, these ‘guitar classics’, as the project came to be known, were “the Mona Lisas,” in Carlos’ words, “songs done by the daVincis of our time, legends of the guitar: Jimi Hendrix, Eric… Read more in Amazon's Santana Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Needed Remaster - Much Improved, November 1, 2009

RockSteadyEddie (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Marathon (30th Anniversary Edition) (Audio CD)

The sound quality is much improved over the prior Sony/Columbia cd, much needed, no bonus tracks though. Maybe someday the entire Santana back catalogue will get the re-mastering that it deserves, but for now this version will do quite well, recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, February 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Marathon (Audio CD)

this cd is terribly underrated.it seemed people were getting tired of santana and quit paying attention to them.its a shame this cd didnt get all the attention it deserves.alex lingertwood has a great soulful voice and it fits perfectly into the music.one of my very favorites is aqua marine.a delightful laid back instramental.i also love the rocker,all i ever wanted.marathon is a truly a gem and should gain the respect it deserves.all in all a superb album.
