A cover isnt supposed to better the original. I don't know any cover that is in the same class as the original version. But its to show, and to to recognise a great song, a great singer, or writer.

vocal a bit ploddy, but then it really takes off with the guitar at 2.45

I heard about this song on of all places an economics blog (Bill Mitchell.) I listened to John Martyn do it live first (the reference was to John Martyn) and then I saw this one. I'm sorry I missed John before he passed. He is a talented song writer. Carlos is simply magnificent. It is like he plays with starlight for strings ... I'm going to try the Dr. John version next. It is a good thing to find good music while roaming the net.
When you have someone of Santana's or Eric Claptons calibre, covering your songs..
What must it say for the original? John Martyn is pure genius.

Yeah I don't think Carlos Santana would try to out do anyone. When ever he plays music from another musician it's to pay tribute to them.
