Stars Join Santana For Classic Rock Covers Album

Rapper Nas, Joe Cocker, Chris Cornell and The Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek have teamed up with guitar great Carlos Santana for his new album of classic rock anthems.

Nas performs AC DC's Back in Black with Santana, while Cocker tackles Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing and Soundgarden frontman Cornell provides vocals on a rendition of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.

Manzarek joins Santana for a new take on The Doors' Riders on the Storm, and the guitarist insists the updated version of the song is "really far out and psychedelic".

Santana tells Rolling Stone magazine he was aiming to make a record that would turn women on: "I paid special attention to the groove so the females would get completely aroused.
