"Money changes the genre," the old man said, shuffling over to the stool next to mine. "But the blues? That’s the root. You can dress it up in Latin rhythms and rock stardom, but strip it down, and it’s still just a man moaning at the sky. This compilation... somebody put it together with heart." That’s the root
To understand this compilation, you must understand that Carlos Santana never left the blues. He simply camouflaged it with timbales. His first major influence was Gábor Szabó, but before that, it was B.B. King's Live at the Regal . He has often said in interviews, "The blues is the root. Even 'Oye Como Va' is just a blues in A minor with a mask on."
Santana is famous for large bands: multiple percussionists, horn sections, backing vocalists. But some of his most emotional moments come when he scales back. Think of “Europa” (an instrumental blues waltz) or “Samba Pa Ti” — both feature only a handful of musicians.
The version of Santana’s Woodstock anthem appears here stripped of its Latin climax, replaced by a slow, burning 12-bar blues. At nearly nine minutes, this version showcases Santana holding a single note for four bars, letting the feedback shimmer into the red. It is a masterclass in less-is-more phrasing.
