I cant beleive this this is the same enigmatic, charismatic, guitar virtuoso of the 70s, who used to leave me totally spellbound with his musicianship and now hes come down to recording and performing duets with everyone now, as well as doing covers!!!

I guess he really has sold out now that he is doing Las Vegas residencies!!!!

Santana is under the guidance of Clive Davis, the man who proposed the myriad of collaborations he's undertaken. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?

Thanks so very much for the info. Hey just remember to learn the rules and play the game. Mr. Carlos Santana has been around long enough to know what it is and what it takes to do what's called for in the industry...besides we all gotta eat.. Play on player!!

The new album has a few great moments,but I'm already 'over' this project.Covers albums never hold my attention for very long.Hopefully,Carlos can now concentrate on a new album with just his band.No guest stars or collaborations.Probably won't happen as long as Clive Davis is guiding his career
