Jeff Meyerson mentioned Carlos Santana’s CD of duets in a comment a few weeks ago. I have a number of Santana CDs scattered throughout my Collection (yes, I’m trying to get more organized!). But, fortunately, I found my copy of ALL THAT I AM and listened to it again.
My favorite song is “I’m Feeling You” with Michelle Branch and The Wreckers with its energy. I also enjoyed Anthony Hamilton on “Twisted.”
Joss Stone and Sean Paul do a nice job with “Cry Baby Cry.” And Santana ends the album with “Da Tu Amor” with some classic Santana guitar riffs. Jeff was right about this album: it’s one of Santana’s best! Are you a fan of Carlos Santana? GRADE: A
