Born in the wake of a career-making performance at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969, guitar legend Santana’s second album, Abraxas was an eclectic blend of styles ranging from rock, jazz, salsa, and the blues. Naturally, the diverse influences make for an experience that takes listeners on a journey that covers every mood and feeling imaginable. “Samba Pa Ti” is edgy, slow, and seductive while “Incident At Neshabur” is smooth with hints of psychedelic. Timeless classics like “Black Magic Woman” and the instantly-recognizable “Oye Como Va” only strengthen the case that Abraxas stands as Santana’s greatest album in a career that spans five decades, one that found him not only discovering his powers with the ax for the first time, but making the best possible use of them.
