Santana III [Legacy Edition] by Santana on CD


Santana III is an album that undeservingly stands in the shadows behind the towering legend that is the band's second album, Abraxas. This was also the album that brought guitarist Neal Schon -- who was then 15-years-old -- into the original core lineup of Santana. Percussionist Thomas "Coke" Escovedo was brought in to temporarly replace Chepito Areas, who had suffered a brain aneurysm, yet who recovered quickly and rejoined the band.
