Carlos Santana may have been a part of an intriguing set of records as we have noticed in our discussions on his intriguing career. However, most of his 80's sucked. True, this might be a terrible thing to say about the works of his back then, since his peers from the 60's suffered the similar issues in the same period. Yes, something didn't work, though you have to admit – all of them did tried their best. Back to Santana – they released Freedom, which serves as one of the attempts to modulate their sounds for the period that had no clue what to do with them. While they didn't go full 80's Chicago on the disc, you do notice they planned to travel this road, yet they changed their approach at one point. Still, this only made the disc as a document of a group in search of an identity.
Carlos Santana actually moved within a variety of idioms in his curious opus that shocks us. We cannot really stress enough the fact about the weirdness of his late 70's records. Sure, you could still recognize them as the work of his group's, they contained enough trademarks to be sold as the LPs by Santana. However, Welcome, for instance, continue to shock the fans of the collective by actually going all the way towards the style of jazz fusion. Of course, we know Mr. Santana collaborated Mr. McLaughlin – he serves as one of the guests on Welcome –, but I get those that followed Santana from their debut on. They presented their own brand of rock with the latter still being used as a foundation and they abandoned that on Welcome.
