Sounds like Santana but was recorded in London and released in February, 1967, by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers - The Supernatural
Santana’s first album (Self-Titled) was released in 1969 – Abraxas, his second and most phenomenal album, was recorded in mid-1970 and released in September, 1970. I have that Album in Vinyl and still think it is groundbreaking in many ways. But the above cut by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers is also grand.

great song. The Supernatural was written by Peter Green back when he was playing with Mayall and he played lead on this track.
i've always enjoyed Green and posted about him several months ago here

'So on reconsideration....I think I'm going to have to stop and think again' is a great line
Peter Green and other original members of Fleetwood Mac supported Duster and recorded a few tracks with him on his first album.
Duster died at the age of 30 after falling asleep at the wheel driving home after a night of playing with Memphis Slim
and i have to post Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac playing 'Oh Well' from the same era
and i'll finish by leaving this absolute beauty by Peter Green....wow....just wow...
Snowy White on rhythm guitar
there are a couple of versions A Hard Road (the original release and an extended cut). personnel include John McVie on bass, Aynsley Dunbar and Mick Fleedwood on drums, and Paul Butterfield on harp and vocals.
which leads to early Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac from 1967, obviously with McVie and Fleetwood.
Black Magic Woman was originally a Fleetwood Mac song written by Green, and Santana is on record saying he was heavily influenced by Green.
if you haven't heard the early Fleetwood Mac double album Fleetwood Mac in Chicago aka Blues Jam in Chicago i strongly encourage you to dig it up. the full album isn't available on youtube and i don't have time to piece together all of the individual songs, but Chicago guest artists include the likes of Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, Otis Spann, and others. fantastic listening.
Chicago legend Hubert Sumlin. he spent most of his career backing up Howlin' Wolf (including the Rocking Chair album), but he has some very impressive work on his own.
Extremely rare that I indulge in going to concerts, but I did see Keb about 15 years ago. He was fabulous. I believe he won a Grammy for one of his albums. Only mention it because it was probably deserved. Also there is a YouTube of him and Taj Mahal playing together that is worth a listen.
