Santana III
Date of Release Sep 1971
Styles Rock & Roll, Blues-Rock, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Album Rock, Latin Rock

The group's third album, simply titled Santana on its original September 1971 release, was the last work of the original Woodstock-era lineup. With hit singles and albums under its belt, the group became more experimental on its third go-round. This yielded some of their best work and another number one for the band. This 1998 re-release also adds three bonus recorded live at the Fillmore West on July 4, 1971, bringing comparable on-stage versions of the album's "Batuka" and "Jungle Strut" along with the rocking "Gumbo." - Cub Koda

No One to Depend On
Composed By Mike Carabello/Coke Escovedo/Gregg Rolie

AMG REVIEW: A brilliant combination of commercial instincts and exploratory, progressive, Santana's "No One To Depend On" became another in a series of the band's F.M radio staples (still played extensively today), and showed the band's growth on their third album. Intrinsically blues-based, the song's title sounds as if it could have come from an old Willie Dixon track, and is filled with resignation. However, the similarity also ties in with the chord progression and Greg Rollie's soulful lead vocal. A two part song, the Latin heat of the song runs all the way through and becomes a full-on psychedelic jam in mid-song, when Carlos Santana breaks into a funky, soul-fried riff and then takes off on a wah-wah'd guitar solo that surely must remain one of his finest and wildest studio performances. A wise inclusion on 2002's The Essential Santana. - Matthew Greenwald
