Santana Welcome Rock Music CD Review
One word describes the CD Welcome from Santana... AWESOME!
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Welcome. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Santana’s most impressive releases ever.
Overall Welcome is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Santana's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Love, Devotion And Surrender, track 4 - When I Look Into Your Eyes, and track 10 - Mantra.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Going Home. This is a great track!
