In my humble opinion, Santana's second album "Abraxas" is one of the best guitar based albums I have ever heard. The amazing cover of Fleetwood Macs "Black Magic Woman" is well complimented with other songs on the album - some vocal - some instrumental. These songs all come together well to make a brilliant album. To the new Santana fan, his newest album "Supernatural" is a break with his past - heavy use of vocalists and less percussion is an example of this. I highly recommend Abraxas to everybody - there is something for everyone in this seminal 44 minutes. I would recommend this album to be listened while calm - as many of the songs are slow and mellow. The young listener might not appreciate this album, but anybody over the age of 12 really should by this album and cherish it as a true great.
