Covers From Santana
Infamous Mexican guitarist Carlos Santana is working with a new album, which includes cover versions of the whole variety of the classic rock songs, said Undercover. The release date and the name are not known so far, so fans should wait a little bit more. Among other musicians who have helped Santana to record the album, fans will find such performers as rapper Nas (”Back in Black”, AC/DC), Joe Cocker (he sang “Little Wing”, Jimi Hendrix), Chris Cornell (with his cover of Led Zeppelins “Whole Lotta Love”), and Ray Manzarek who had recorded the new version of The Doors’ “Riders On The Storm”. Santana has already practiced these kinds of experiments on his deeply successful album “Supernatural” (1999), it was able to sell twenty five million copies, hit platinum status for fifteen times and receive nine “Grammy’s”. “Supernatural” was co-produced with Eric Clapton, Matchbox Twenty vocalist Rob Thomas, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Everlast and Eagle Eye Cherry. The following records, “Shaman” (2002) and “All That I Am” (2005) were also including numerous duets, but less successful. Carlos Santana is very unique in mixing of different styles in his guitar playing, classic rock, Caribbean, and pop, all of them co-exist very well though. People admire Santana for being humorous all the time and friendly, so possibly that’s where his real talent dwells, openness and musical creativity. Thus, Santana shall hopefully create another classic thing once again.
