Carlos Santana talks about upcoming album and all-star collaborations

Standard

Carlos Santana is starting to talk about his upcoming album – as yet untitled – as its September release date nears. The album is a collection of all-star collaborations on a collection of iconic rock songs from artists such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin among others.

While the tracklist is still being finalized, Billboard reports that recording sessions included Santana reuniting with “Smooth” partner Rob Thomas on Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” and working with Joe Cocker on Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing,” Scott Weiland on the Rolling Stones’ “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking,” Chris Daughtry on Def Leppard’s “Photograph,”Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell on Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix on Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” India.Arie and Yo Yo Ma on the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and Nas, who lays down rhymes on AC/DC’s “Back in Black.”

In the Billboard interview Santana admitted he had to be coerced into taking on the project initially by Sony music Chief Clive Davis because he felt the project was so challenging. Ultimately, Santana chose half of the songs for the album while Davis picked the other half.

Santana said he plans to preview some of the covers during his tour that starts next week, June 30 with Steve Winwood in St. Paul, Minn.

Do you think Santana’s new album sounds like a winner? Do you like hearing “classic” rock songs redone?

    I have been a fan of Carlos’ since the late 1960’s. He is truly a gifted musician and champion of social justice and human rights. But I must say that I am tired of these of all-star collaborations. I long for the return of original material with the band.

  2. Hi, i think that i saw you visited my site thus i came to go back the favor?

    .I am attempting to to find issues to enhance
    my site!I suppose its good enough to make use of a few of your ideas!

  3. clients, Rachel, who got back together with her ex.
    At the same time, web games seemed like the future of gaming, and we wanted to be
    a part of it. The most unique thing about Ouya is that it is said to be “open” — although what this means is
    up for interpretation.

  4. This is more important than ever in a world where there are dozens of different audio formats.
    This means that everyone in the whole wide world can access this new kind of radio and you are assured that the programs as well
    as the list of radio stations you are listening to are all automatically updated.
    Perfect for long trips and for up to date information on road conditions ahead.

  5. Even though your goal is just to lose 5 pounds in a week, you should be strict with what you do so
    as not to inadvertently undo all your hard work for vegetarian
    weight loss. Authorities inside the area will need to have an intensive understanding
    of laboratory and labeling techniques, infection security precautions, appropriate
    blood attract approaches to the elderly and for infants and even more.
    Expect to lose all that extra flabbiness as you melt off all your unwanted fat.

  6. Break your 3 normal main meals into 5 smaller portion sizes – morning, snack, lunch, snack, dinner.

    In fact, I always suggest to those overweight vegetarians to keep to a max of 4 pounds a week
    so you won’t suffer loose skin post weight loss. Many people don’t have the time to weight themselves every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you’re working to lose weight and keep it off.

  7. A cake shaped as a princess castle for the pretty little girl turning six or a replica
    of Scooby Doo for the cute little boy celebrating his third birthday or a sneaker-shaped cake for the shoe-lover husband or delicious brownies shaped as stars for visiting relatives can be done with these specialty cake pans.
    This suggests banks will be in a position to borrow cash from the central authority at low rates and subsequently,
    they are going to be able to offer low interest private
    loans. Frost the cupcakes in different colors using frosting
    and food coloring.

  8. Believing that you are actually starving, it releases chemicals that actually make it harder to lose weight
    in an effort to conserve energy. Vitamin B3 or also called as Niacin is
    important in weight loss because it is responsible for the regulation
    of thyroid hormones and also in sugar levels in the body.
    Many people don’t have the time to weight themselves every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you’re working
    to lose weight and keep it off.

  9. s better to use whole foods made from scratch for good health.
    Avocados- Although not my favorite, are high in fats,
    the good ones. That way, the actual process will end
    up being much less frustrating and, for the majority of people,
    enjoyable.
