Let the Guitar Play: Santana’s New ‘Sentient’ Revisits Collabs with Smokey Robinson, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson and More

February 24, 2025 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

More than 25 years after a collaboration-heavy album rocketed Carlos Santana back into the spotlight, the guitar legend will release another – albeit one assembled from an assortment of solo tracks and guest spots spanning his last five decades of work. Sentient, hitting stores on March 28, brings together joint tracks with Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Smokey Robinson and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run-DMC, along with select deep cuts that make for a retrospective distinct from well known renditions of “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va” or latter-day triumphs like “Smooth,”…

We Were Half A Million Strong: Massive Woodstock Collection Arrives in High-Resolution Digital Formats

August 17, 2020 by Sam Stone | 3 Comments

Fifty-one years ago this past weekend, a crowd of half a million converged at Max Yasgur’s Farm in Bethel, New York for the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The four-day event became a cultural touchstone and mythical ideal, strengthened even more by the Woodstock film and soundtracks that proliferated the marketplace during the early ’70s and beyond. While performers, fans, and countless supposed attendees participated in even more myth-building, a small group of historians and researchers worked to piece together what really happened. Last year, a decade-long dive into Woodstock tape vaults…

Rhino’s 10-CD Woodstock Set “Back To the Garden: The 50th Anniversary Experience” Delivers the Goods

July 31, 2019 by Sam Stone | 7 Comments

Fifty years ago this summer, more than 400,000 fans convened at Max Yasgur’s farm for a music festival that would come to define not only the era, but the entire ethos of music festivals to come. With every passing decade, the magic of Woodstock has been celebrated and, indeed, re-marketed to new generations of music fans. The ’90s saw two new Woodstock-branded festivals and an array of 25th anniversary products, including a compilation called Woodstock Diary and a 4-CD box set. To mark the festival’s 40th anniversary in 2009, yet another box…

Shake Your Body: “The John Luongo Disco Mixes” Features Jacksons, Mathis, Labelle, Sly Stone, and More

December 22, 2017 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

Can You Feel the Force? asks the title of Groove Line Records’ new compilation of The John Luongo Disco Mixes. The force is undeniable on this 2-CD, 21-track selection of some of the finest floor-fillers crafted by the Boston DJ-turned-pioneering disco mix master.

Review: Santana and The Isley Brothers, “Power of Peace”

July 31, 2017 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

In 1965, Hal David first made the observation, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love…it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.” Over fifty-two years later, there’s still just too little love, and it’s a situation which Carlos Santana has aimed to remedy. The guitar hero was inspired by seeing the velvet-voiced Ron Isley, longtime lead singer of The Isley Brothers, performing with Burt Bacharach in a 2004 television special promoting their collaborative album Here I Am. Santana envisioned working with Isley, and although it’s taken more than…

Three Santana Remasters Coming from Friday Music

January 3, 2011 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Carlos Santana won the adulation of a new generation with the pop crossover album Supernatural in 1999 – then promptly lost it by making a bunch of increasingly flabby and self-indulgent records. Friday Music takes us to a simpler time – the early 1980s – with three forthcoming Santana remasters. The Swing of Delight (1980), Zebop! (1981) and Shangó are being remastered and reissued on January 25. (Friday Music lists them as 30th anniversary editions, which is of course only technically true for Zebop!) Though Santana’s commercial prominence was not as strong…

(Slightly) Turning Back the Clock

February 16, 2010 by Mike Duquette | 5 Comments

Today, Legacy releases a double-disc edition of Supernatural, the massive comeback album Santana released in 1999. Perhaps more than any catalogue reissue I’ve ever followed, there’s something positively mind-boggling about seeing an album that’s only a decade old – even one that’s a successful, good listen – get the deluxe treatment. You see, while I have been passionate about reissues for much of my music-collecting life, I’m firmly a part of the generation that went from watching Britney Spears and *NSYNC on Total Request Live before tying up the family phone line…

Smooth Moves from Legacy

January 19, 2010 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Legacy Recordings has issued a press release for their upcoming Legacy Edition of Supernatural by Santana. It’s going to have all the usual trimmings – namely deluxe packaging and a second disc of rarities, remixes and a handful of never-before-released tracks (including one, “Angel Love,” being released as a radio single). Full specs can be seen in the link above. Me? I bet I’ll be picking this up. Supernatural isn’t the best of Santana’s work – all those Grammys notwithstanding, it did help Carlos Santana transition from psychedelic guitar warrior to inoffensive pop sideman – but…
