Moonflower (album)
''Moonflower'' is a double album released in 1977 by Santana. The recording features both studio and live tracks, which are interspersed with one another throughout the album. It is perhaps the group's most popular live album, because the 1974 album ''Lotus'' did not receive a U.S. domestic release until 1991. It displays a mix between the fusion of Latin and blues-rock styles of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the much more experimental and spiritual jazz fusion sound that characterized the band's mid-1970s work. The live material was recorded during the supporting tour for the '' Amigos'' album. A cover version of the Zombies' mid-1960s hit song "She's Not There" was released as a single and peaked at #27. The song was the first Santana recording to hit the Top 40 of the ''Billboard'' charts since "No One to Depend On" reached #36 in 1972. The album reached #10 on the ''Billboard'' charts and was eventually certified platinum, neither of which occurred again until the star ...
