“Willie Nelson’s impact on American music is indelible. He stands at the crossroads of all the sounds and colors of this country. What he reflects is true soul and sincerity. He’s also a pretty mean guitar player.”
— Carlos Santana
According to ABC News, after Carlos Santana’s current tour winds down, that he has no fewer than “five-to-seven” recording projects — either in the planning stages or in the works. He hopes to put together an eclectic-sounding collaboration with jazz/prog-rock guitarist John McLaughlin, blues-rock icon Jeff Beck and country legend Willie Nelson that he describes as “funky swamp music from Africa. First up, though, will be Shape Shifter, an all-instrumental effort with “no guests and no vocals” that Santana he says “should be out by October [or] November”, and also plns an album with his son Salvador and his wife, Cindy Blackman Santana, who’s also Santana’s drummer.
