I’ve always loved Santana, but for a long time I only knew his first album. Then one day, while sorting through the donation pile at my library, I stumbled upon this Greatest Hits CD—and it felt like a musical rediscovery. This collection gathers the best tracks from Santana’s first three albums, and while I was already familiar with the debut, the other two were a revelation.
Listening to this album, I was struck not only by the rhythms and fire of the music but by how deeply Santana’s guitar playing resonated with me. I realized he wasn’t just a musician I liked—he was my guitarist inspiration.
