Choice Classic Rock

Santana

New Bon Jovi, Hunter, Hayward and Santana

Ian Hunter & The Rant Band - Fingers Crossed
Ian Hunter & The Rant Band – Fingers Crossed

I have just added 5 newly-released classic rock tracks into high rotation in the playlist.

Listen for the track This House Is Not For Sale from the same-titled album from Bon Jovi. This is the first Bon Jovi album that does not have any song-writing contributions from the recently-departed Richie Sambora. I will let you decide whether the band is missing Sambora or not, but the album has received mixed reviews.

I also added 2 new tracks into high rotation from Ian Hunter & The Rant Band. Ian Hunter was a long-time member of the seventies Glam Rock band – Mott the Hoople. His latest release is called Fingers Crossed and is getting universally rave reviews. Listen for the track Ghosts as well as a tribute track to David Bowie called Dandy. When Mott the Hoople was struggling to be heard, Bowie not only gave them the title song for the album All The Young Dudes, but produced the record as well … kicking the band into high gear.

Santana also have released a new DVD/Blue Ray called Live At the House of Blue Las Vegas. Listen for the track No One To Depend On from this release.

Lastly – listen for the track The Wind Of Heaven from Moody Blues alumni Justin Hayward‘s compilation album called All The Way. The album features some of Hayward‘s best known solo tracks, some live performances, solo interpretations of Moody Blues songs, as well as the newly recorded track The Wind Of Heaven.

Eric Clapton – I Still Do

I have just added 13 newly released tracks into high rotation. These tracks feature some of classic rock’s finest artists

Santana just released their long-awaited new album Santana IV – which features the original Woodstock era band reunited. This album resurrects the late 60s/early 70s sound of the band and I highly recommend it. I have added an additional 5 tracks from this album into high rotation – to join the 2 that I added a couple of weeks ago!

I have also added 2 tracks from Eric Clapton‘s forthcoming album, which is called I Still Do. Listen for the tracks Can’t Let You Do It and Stones In My Passway. Give the tracks a listen and I think you’ll agree that Slowhand is still getting it done.

Also listen for 2 new tracks from the latest album from Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills & Nash) which is called This Path Tonight; a new track from Peter Frampton‘s latest all-acoustic release called (appropriately) Acoustic Classics; 2 new tracks from the latest album from Peter Wolf (of the J. Geils Band) called A Cure For Loneliness; and lastly – a new track from the newest release from Cheap Trick which is called Bang, Zoom, Crazy … Hello.

New Santana, Robin Trower and Jeff Healey

Santana IV
Santana IV

I have just added four brand new classic rock tracks into high rotation.

The first two tracks are from Santana IV, which is the upcoming twenty-third studio album by American Latin rock band Santana and the fourth album by almost the entire Woodstock-era classic lineup. It is due to be released on 15 April 2016 and from everything I have read is a “magical” album. Listen for the tracks Anywhere You Want To Go and Blues Magic.

The next new track is from Robin Trower (of Procol Harum). It is the title track from his latest release called Where You Are Going To.

And lastly, I have added a track from the late Jeff Healey‘s new album called Heal My Soul, which was released to help celebrate what would have been his 50th birthday. Listen for the track Daze Of the Night.
