As Gibson.com previously reported, Santana's forthcoming release will be a collection of classic rock cover songs. Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time will be released on September 21 and features Carlos Santana teaming up with a variety of singers to tackle these legendary songs.

The guitarist himself had been discussing some of the collaborations (AC/DC's "Back in Black" with Nas, Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" with Rob Thomas), but only now has the full tracklist been released. The album will be available in two versions: a 12-track standard edition and a deluxe, 14-track edition.

  1. Dr Robert,
    this is a superb tracklist. I would never have expected such from Santana. AC/DC, Led Zep and a real surprise Def Leppard's Photograph.
    Do you know if the album is actually out yet?

    Again thanks for the info,
    Steve.
