ok, so here's the idea.

i realized lately that i don't listen to that much of the music on my computer. the plan with this blog is to post about the music i never listen to, in hopes of changing just that. the broad goal is to post something about each album in my itunes catalog. i would like to do this once a day, but we'll see how my resolve and my schedule will allow for this.

so we're starting at the beginning, in the "Compilations" tab. some of the albums that are grouped in this category don't really belong, but somehow were grouped as such. you could say that about the album i'm currently enjoying: Abraxas, by Santana.

i don't really know if you can fault this cd. there are some true classics on this album: 'black magic woman' and 'oye como va' are both muy bueno. and there are some tracks which i can say i've overlooked before, like 'mother's daughter.' that track is just phenomenal. i love the quick bass line, how it never stays in one place and just keeps moving. 'samba pa ti' has some great guitar work. and did i mention the organ? i LOVE the organ, and this album has plenty!

carlos santana is a wonderful guitarist. forgive him his forays w/ matchbox 20.

hope to see you again soon.
