SAN FRANCISCO -- Salvador Santana's fresh spin on
the classic Santana hit "Evil Ways" is the album-opening
track on the disc “A Song For My Father,” a compilation
of young music artists recreating tunes originally made famous
by their musical fathers.
As recorded by Carlos Santana and the Santana Band, "Evil
Ways" was a Top 10 single in 1969, a highlight of their
self-titled debut LP that year. When Salvador Santana was
asked to contribute to “A Song For My Father,”
it was one of several choices suggested for the project. "It
jumped out at me right away," says Salvador, "it
hadn't been used as much as the others being considered. It
seemed like a perfect opportunity to flip the script on everybody."
Others paying musical tribute on “A Song For My Father”
include Devon Allman, Louise Goffin, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Ky-Mani
Marley, Ivan Neville, Ben Taylor and Wendy & Carnie Wilson,
among others.
