The legendary guitarist is back with his 26th studio album. 'Blessings And Miracles', this new 15-track opus includes many prestigious guests such as Diane Warren, Chris Stapleton, Kirk Hammett and G-Eazy. For the occasion, he also reunites Santana with his most famous collaborator, Rob Thomas. Pure Santana! On 'Blessings and Miracles', music legend and guitar master Carlos Santana delivers one of the most ambitious, inspired and magical albums of his rich career. There are thrilling feats of musical bravado that pair the guitar master with other icons like Chick Corea and Steve Winwood, knockout rockers with Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Living Colour's Corey Glover, and hook-laden celebrations with Rob Thomas, Chris Stapleton, G-Eazy, American Authors and Ally Brooke, among others. The album's first single, "Move," is the much-anticipated re-teaming of Santana and Matchbox 20 singer Rob Thomas, and it's a sensation. Thomas is dynamic and magnetic, and he's ably backed by the pounding vocal talents of American Authors (especially Zac Barnett of the band, who takes the lead on the second verse). Santana equals these supreme performances as only he can, with shimmering solos that explode with tectonic force. On the second single, "She's Fire," a hypnotic, soulful ballad that works its way into your body's chemistry, Santana wraps his exquisite guitar melodies in and around a seductive narrative spun by rapper G-Eazy - collaboration as conversation, and truly captivating. Santana teamed up with country titan Chris Stapleton on "Joy," an enriching wonder that blends country, reggae, blues and gospel with a big-screen sing-along chorus. And on "America for Sale," a grinding metal blues killer, the guitarist is joined by Death Angel singer Marc Osegueda and Metallica's axe man Kirk Hammett. Anyone expecting mind-blowing guitar voodoo will not be disappointed.
