Santana-Marathon

This 1979 album is one I taped off the radio in 1980 when I was living on Pyle St. in Wilmington so I am very familiar with it. I picked this used copy up about ten years ago. With pretty much a new band this album has shorter, more Pop/Rock oriented songs. Still with three percussionists(drums,congas,and timbales) and a new singer Alex Ligertwood. These people would play on the next two records before Carlos brought in some new musicians. I aways liked “Lightning In The Sky”,”Aqua Marine”,an instrumental with some Jazzy sounding bass,”Summer Lady”,”Love”,and “Hard Times”. There are two Pop ballads “You Know That I Love You”,and “Stay(Beside Me)”.
