This album is actually a compilation of songs recorded during the Neal Schon auditions in 1970-1971. Neal is actually the main guitarrist throughout the album, most notably in tracks 4-7. At only 16 years old at the time, he really plays like a veteran guitar genius. Travellin Blues is my favorite song on the disc. It's amazing how Neal masters the blues at such an early age. Special mention is also noted for Everyday I Have The Blues. Neal goes off again in this one. Overall, this album is really good to have. The recording quality is not the best, but none of these songs were ever meant to be on an album anyway. Like I said, these were recorded during the Neal Schon auditions for Santana. The low price makes this CD really good one to own.

(4.5 stars really) This is a really good album. Jam is a little disapointing. not his best album, but still exellent. that is why it got 4.5 instead of 5 stars. i reccomend buying it. it is a great price and a good cd overall. Their remake of "With a little help from my friends" is awesome. Carlos Santana is amazing as always.

This album is an import or budget cd of Santana's work before their first album was released, while its not as good as their first album, its well worth the good price.
