Guitar

After re-discovering Escalator Over The Hill, I delved into a Carlos Santana – Alice Coltrane album “Illuminations”.

It is a bizarre mix of strings, harp, guitar and Sri Chinmoy chanting: but I love it. One of my favourite albums. It is so good, that it is out of print [quite an achievement these days when you can get pretty much anything on re-issue – except this album.]

Santana, Hendrix, Neil Young, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan: four of my favourite guitarists. Santana is one of the two who are still alive, I better get to see him soon.
