 (4 Customer Reviews)
Compilations are always trying to outdo each other, claiming to be "definitive," "ultimate," or the "the best of the best." ULTIMATE SANTANA lays claim to its title by spanning the guitarist's entire career, from the late 1960s to the early 2000s. It's true that there is a fair showing of the Santana classics of yore, including "Oye Como Va," "Evil Ways," and "Black Magic Woman," but the majority of the 18-track set is devoted to Santana's crossover work in the '90s and 2000s.
In fact, ULTIMATE plays like an advertisement for Santana's star-studded collaborations. In addition to chart-toppers like "Smooth" (featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20), there are collaborations with Jennifer Lopez, Tina Turner, Everlast, Michelle Branch, and Nickleback's Chad Kroeger, among others. This makes ULTIMATE somewhat lopsided as a retrospective, but those looking for a summation of the man's latter-day pop music mixed in with some classics will enjoy this collection.
Personnel: Neal Schon (guitar); Karl Perazzo (electric guitar, bass guitar); Chester Thompson (organ, congas, timbales, percussion); Gregg Rolie (keyboards); David Brown (bass guitar); Michael Carabello (congas).
Additional personnel: Rob Thomas , Everlast, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Band, Maná, Michelle Branch, Steven Tyler, Baby Bash, The Product G&B, Tina Turner, Chad Kroeger.

Great collection
This is a beautiful record. It leans toward pop, yes, but is very listenable for everyone, and could create new guitar converts. As always, Mr. Santana is inclusive and helps the listener cross over musical boundaries. Gorgeous guitar work throughout.

This Album is very tight. Santana got all these famous singers in his album and guitar playing is off the hook.

| | David Gilmour About Face CD (1984) Remastered
Ultimate Santana
$7.59  
Combining layered vocals with a heavily looped guitar sound, "Until We Sleep" begins ABOUT FACE with an almost Byrds-like quality, while the gentleness of the acoustic opening to the ballad "Murder" disguises its homicidal subject matter. Both "Love On the Air," and "All Lovers are Deranged," are distinguished by lyrics written by Pete Townshend, and "Blue Light" is an attempt at funk with a Floydian flavor. Gilmour's strength at ballad writing is evidenced ...
| | David Gilmour CD (1978) Remastered
Ultimate Santana
$6.79
Before David Gilmour virtually "became" Pink Floyd he was always the most likely member of the band (with the possible exception of de-facto leader Roger Waters) to release a solo album. 1978's welcome eponymous debut showcased his multi-faceted performing talents.
The album opener "Mihalis" is an ANIMALS period instrumental, which, along with "Raise My Rent," sounds like an outtake from that album. The beautiful "There's No Way Out of Here" begins with a lonely harmonica and, with "No Way" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore," expounds the album's main theme of being trapped in an untenable situation. "Cry From the Streets" is a nod to the blues, while the lovely "So Far Away" harks back to the ballads of OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. Almost a missing mid-period Floyd album, this solo effort is a must-have for all Pink Floyd fans.
By the time of David Gilmour's solo debut, he had not only established himself several times over as an underrated, powerful guitarist in Pink Floyd, but as a remarkably emotional singer, his soothing approach perfectly suited to such songs as "Wish You Were Here." ...

| | Doors Soft Parade CD (1969) Gold; Remastered
Ultimate Santana
$20.29
Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of ...

RING SIDE: Bleached blond in a mini skirt, walking on the shoulder in a barrowed shirt. See’s a lost baby in her won belly. Ride down the darkness, to a place where it’s soft with no color or sound. She sees a woman on a horse and a baby on a couch. She looks them in the eye and it kicks real hard. And finally she begins to break – ride it baby. Ring Side is the third album released by B. J. York. Born in 1952, B. J. York was raised in the bowl of California, in the small town of Porterville, a ten minute bike-ride from the Sierra foothills. There, she grew up in music and dance. York ...
