The longest-running, most successful partnership in the history of rock takes flight anew as Carlos Santana collaborates with the legendary Clive Davis on the brand new album Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time.
Working from the collective encyclopedic knowledge of rock possessed by the album's producers, Carlos, Clive Davis, Howard Benson and Matt Serletic, a list of guitar-centric titles was devised and a Who's Who of guest vocalists were invited to perform on every track alongside Carlos and his full-time band.
Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time will be released on September 21, but you can pre-order your copy right now through our Store.
Two versions are available for sale, the standard CD and a deluxe edition with two bonus tracks and a DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the studio, interviews with the album's guest vocalists and producers, and an extensive one-on-one interview with Carlos Santana and Clive Davis.
"To create these songs," says Carlos, "it took an incredible amount of trust - from Howard Benson and Matt Serletic, and all these incredible singers, all these incredible musicians, they had to trust me, and I trusted Clive, so it's a chain reaction of love, because that's the highest form of love that there is on this planet: Trust."
