The third Carlos Santana solo album marks a surprising turn toward 1950s rock & roll and Tex-Mex, with covers such as Bo Diddley’s "Who Do You Love" and Chuck Berry’s title song. Produced by veteran R&B producers Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett, the album features an eclectic mix of sidemen, including Booker T. Jones of Booker T & the MG’s, Willie Nelson, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Havana Moon is a light effort, but it’s one of Santana’s most enjoyable albums, which may explain why it was also the best-selling Santana album outside the group releases in ten years.
