The third Carlos Santana solo album, titled Havana Moon, marks a surprising turn toward 1950s rock & roll and Tex-Mex, with covers such as Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love” and Chuck Berry’s title song.  The album features performances by Booker T & the MGs, Willie Nelson, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Carlos’ father Jose singing “Vereda Tropical” — a song Carlos had first heard when his father was serenading his mother following an argument.

Havana Moon is a light effort, but it’s one of Santana’s most enjoyable albums, which may explain why it was also the best-selling Santana album outside the group releases in ten years.

Havana Moon is a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on yellow & red marbled vinyl and includes an insert.
