If you say that nine times with lame jokes in between and your eyes closed,
you will feel just like you are at the Grammy Awards. Santana has broken
back into the pop and art mainstream with his Grammy showing and new album

and does not look like it is going away quick. Just to review, the album

Big Beef
and Beer has produced this review as a service to the few of you who have
not heard this album or are afraid to buy an album with so much hype.
Supernatural is a very eclectic album. The music varies from Latin,
rap, blues, hip hop, to pop. Three of the songs are played on the better
radio stations: Put Your Lights On with Everlast,
Smooth with Rob Thomas, Wishing It Was with Eagle-Eye
Cherry. These songs, although of the pop nature, are good enough alone
to buy the album. But that is not all.... Nearly half of the songs are
Latin, and, although I am not a big fan of the Latin style of music, I
was very impressed by the songs on this album.
Santana
is the master of the sound. His guitar riffs mix smoothly with the music
and lyrics to create the perfect effect. Whether Latin or otherwise, Santana's
guitar playing is spectacular. I have seen B.B. King live and think that Santana
would be give him a run for his money in the guitar playing department.
Many of the songs also include some brass. Believe it or not, the Spanish
words (as well as the English) are on the album jacket.
I
give this album 5 BB & B's due to its fine (almost perfect) artistic
quality. It would have gotten 4.5 because I am not a big fan of the Latin
sound but Reggie will not let me use fractional BB & B's. I think
that this album is a must have for everyone. The album was produced by
Clive Davis and Carlos Santana under the Arista Records label. Go to CDNOW
and listen to some of the tracks and then buy Supernatural
for the cheapest you will probably find it at $13.28. Or listen to any
other of the 100 albums that Santana
has produced.
Ranking:
out of 5 BB&B's.
