Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin ‎– Love Devotion Surrender (LP)

Second Carlos Santana solo album is a gem. If there are plenty of blues-rock or psychodelic- rock roots in Carlos' early albums, this album is pure fusion with great jazz-rock guitarist John McLaughlin.

The long compositions are mainly filled with soft guitar duelling between two great guitarists from different worlds - british jazz-rock hero McLaughlin and mexican/american Latin -rock star Carlos Santana. Music consists mainly of melted guitar soloing, but not agressive, as in rock tradition, but soft rounded, with strong Latin scent. Of course, some roots of Indian musical culture presented there as well.

Highly recommended for all fusion lovers! Could be a bit unusual for fans of early Santana's band works.
