Guitar legend in Rock and Pop music, Carlos Santana is returning to the music biz strong with his eleventh solo album, Guitar Heaven: Santana Performs the Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time. The set is exactly what the title implies it to be, a collection of 13 cover songs of some major guitar driven tunes. It is due for release on September 21st, from Arista/RCA Records. It is executive produced by the team behind Santana’s latest genre bending projects like Supernatural, Clive Davis and Carlos Santana himself. While Clive and Carlos will co-produce, the album tracks will also be produced by Matt Serletic and Howard Benson. Even though the album is technically a solo album for Carlos, he is by no means doing this alone. Like his blockbuster album, Supernatural before it, each one of these captivating covers will featur a different vocalist adding their own flavor to Santana’s guitar. The track list and guests to appear on the tracks are as follows.

The first single from the album is one of the few Beatles songs written by George Harrison, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” originally from, The White Album.  Santana’s version features the soothing sounds of soul singer, India Arie and Yo-Yo Ma. Take a listen
