Few artists were more prolific than Carlos Santana during the 1970s and '80s
By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip since his group's 1969 debut
No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana's last work until 1990; he deserved the rest
And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note - one that earned him his first Grammy Award
Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP of Blues for Salvador presents the diverse album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic vinyl reissue
Part of the reissue label's Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help expose the small details, wide-range dynamics, and trademark tones crucial to Santana's sonic escapades
As for Carlos Santana's globally recognizable guitar voicing, knife-edged solos, and comet-tail-streak leads?
Hear them with newfound definition and clarity - all the better to appreciate the control, energy, and soulfulness on display
Ending a creative lull that lasted for a majority of the decade, Blues for Salvador calls attention to Santana's natural ability to simply let loose and have fun
It's also an unmistakable return to his love of jazz and a tribute to many of his heroes
The new-age atmospherics of "Bella," a composition dedicated to his daughter, doubles as an ode to Wes Montgomery, Otis Rush, T. Bone Walker, and other six-string pioneers
The snaking pulse of "'Trane" - featuring Williams cracking heads behind the drum kit - obviously bows to John Coltrane
Charles Mingus, another giant, gets his due on the short, keyboard-accompanied "Mingus"
