Bloggy Goodness: Santana Goes Classic

Its no secret that Santana’s 1999 guest-heavy album Supernatural helped expose the guitar legend to a brand new audience – selling an astounding 15 million copies along the way. While the axeman has revisited the format on his last two studio releases, his latest record will take a similar route, but with a twist as Carlos will put out an album chock full of classic rock covers. Joining the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer will be a diverse roster of artists including Nas on AC/DC’s Back In Black, Joe Cocker doing Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) on Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love.
