Santana, Guitar Heaven

New album out tomorrow. Bit of a preview on BBC listen again. Sounds great.

Bit disappointing, on the whole. One or two tracks stand out; Back In Black is inspired, and nothing like the original (just like a cover should be IMO), and the guitar on I Ain't Superstitious is like Santana of old. But do we need another version of Smoke On The Water, especially when it sounds like your average pub cover band? The rest is just so-so.

If you like your rock from the early/mid-70's, it's worth having a listen to Black Country Communion. Bonham sounds just like his dad, and Bonamassa sounds like he's got a new lease of life.

Having heard it now in full I have to agree, thought Whole Lotta Love wasn't bad. Perhaps some of the others will grow on me. Vocals seem to be week/uninspiring.

Saw him live in Vegas back in April! He was awesome to see live!! Going to be getting this.
