Released in 1969, Santana's first album shot the group from local San Francisco band status to a worldwide forum. Included were the group's first hits ("Evil Ways" and "Soul Sacrifice") and others that combined Latin grooves with a rock sensibility. The newly remastered compact disc also adds three bonus tracks recorded live at {~Woodstock} in 1969, "Savor, " "Soul Sacrifice," and "Fried Neck Bones." [The 1998 Japanese reissue features bonus tracks.] ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
