New Santana CD coming 9/21

[redsmetz]

Caught a glimpse of an ad on Facebook for a new Carlos Santana CD that is covers of classic songs. I went to his website and it's titled Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time. I watched the promo for it and it sounds great.

What's a cd?

Well at least I didn't say LP or album or record. Shall I change it to collection of musical compilations?

Easy now, you are talking to a guy who buys vinyl LPs (Probably the root of my remark) .

My inclination is to always refer to them as albums, I actually was trying to modernize things, but clealry CD's are passe

I realized that there is the full cut of While My Guitar Gently Weeps up in the upper righthand corner. Very nice, smooth version with India.Arie & Yo Yo Ma

Thats a pretty interesting guest line up there. Kinda cool. Would have been nice to see him avoid Rob Thomas, but hey it worked last time....$$$

Interested to hear the Cornell and Weiland tracks in particular.

I couldn't drop 15 bucks on this, but I'd like to hear the "Riders on the Storm" with Manzerek. Too many current rock radio voices on this for me to be interested. "Smoke on the Water" reminds me of a small local country show I saw recently where, while the singer was calling out for requests, I heard a hobo crack "oh god, not Smoke on the Water" out of nowhere. It was hilarious, kind of like "play Freebird!" (which is old) but in reverse.

I'm interested in hearing Manzerek on that one too. His keyboard playing on the original was a nice sweet jazzy sort of thing.

My usual "request" is Ina Gadda da Veda (sp?), even called it out at a Riders in the Sky concert at the Zoo. He jokingly called for security.

I've been a Santana fan since about 1969. My son gave me Santana Abraxas on CD for Father's Day. I have now owned the album, 8-track, cassette, and CD.

"Under the Bridge" is one of my favorite songs and the RHCP original version is currently my ringtone.

[cacollinsmba]

i have several of Santana's earlier albums on 8-track...great stuff.

Scott Stapp? Really? REALLY?

I'm a big fan of the song "Fortunate Son" but Scott Stapp makes me want to retch.
