Santana has a new album coming out on October 15th titled “Blessings And Miracles”. You can pre-order a copy here. The new single is the 1967 classic by Procol Harum’s Whiter Shade Of Pale. This also features Steve Winwood (Traffic, Blind Faith, Spencer Davis Group). There are so many things to like about this cover, but I’ll begin with Winwood. His voice is a pleasant surprise. The man is 73 years old and can still carry a tune. His delivery here is outstanding. That’s all I have to say about that. Carlos Santana blew me away. His guitar work on this really makes this version stand out. It’s truly Santanizied. I don’t have the right words to describe the ambitious effort on this. I admit I am impressed. You can check it all out yourself below. via the stream of the track.
