“Meeting once again at the intersection of American pop and Latin flair, [Rob] Thomas showcases his signature vocals over Santana's dizzying guitar, congas and a lively horn section…there's a similarly gigantic energy [to 'Smooth'] on 'Move' that's fit for both afternoon cookouts and dance clubs.” - San Francisco Chronicle
“'Joy,' as its title suggests, is a celebratory, uplifting track, though that euphoria is couched in a heavy, yearning groove that blends elements of reggae, blues, gospel, and country.” - Rolling Stone

Thank you for the opportunity. Good luck to all (but mostly me 8-_)
Thank you for the opportunity! And if I win the guitar, I'll have to learn how to play it - this is not just something for the wall!
The real Blessing and Miracle is to hear Carlos' music, the rest is icing. Thank you for your gift to us all.

Just happy that Carlos is still the best!

Sweet guitar
It would be nice to win
Love devotion surrender
But, if I win…..I will learn
Been a Santana fan since the late 60s. Can't wait
Would love to win.
Would love to get that as it would jump-start my guitar lessons in a big way.
WhooHoo
It's always wonderful to hear something new from him.
I practically glued my Koss headphones to my head to listen to Abraxas in high school in the early 70's. Since then Carlos has been part of my brain. His music never gets old.
I would finally have no excuse to learn to play.
Thanks Carlos Santana!
What else to say?
Count me in. Please.
MUST win this for my Son!
Great idea!
Hope I win...
Me , Me , Me !
love carlos
Carlos has been one of my top 5 guitarists since the first Santana album.
I can strum it on the streets for spare change.
to have new Santana and a giveaway. Stereophile rocks!
Nice guitar. Hope I win.
what a great new album
Very sweet looking guitar!
Would love any and all things Santana :-)
Paul Reed Smith grew up just a couple of blocks from where I'm sitting now, and his brother is a friend of mine. So obviously that guitar is coming to me.
samba pa ti!
Ooo, pick me!
I never win these things, maybe this time?
Would love that guitar!
Santana's music is pure magic!
Makes my lips sing and feet move.
Since he began with the Santana Blues Band, Carlos has been leading the way - literally! - as a guitarist and bandleader!
I would love that guitar!
You roll the dice and you hope for luck...
Never too old for rock'n-roll. Thanks for the good vibes Mr. Santana, cheers!!!
But I would love to play that Guitar!
That guitar would make a hell of a prize!
Carlos Santana has long been one of my guitar heroes. I like the new album.

Here’s my entry, hopping to win this guitar!!
I thought I was going to learn the ukelele. But I can try on this.
As Bob and Ted say: Always be excellent to each other. Party ON !!!
First saw them in 1968. I need this.
Two of my guitar faves....Carlos and PRS, not to mention the other epic talent on the album. Sign me UP! WHAT?
#bestguitarever ...aside from anything played by Jimi of course.
About time he put out some new music. I love the man......and his guitar!
Beautiful guitar! Santana's music never disappoints.
Love everything that Carlos does. He is a master guitarist.
Carlos is the best. Looking forward to new music from him
I'm confident I'll win!
but, really could use that there axe for my guitar karaoke act on th' river here...
42 years ago at the age 16, Santana’s music changed my life and made me wanted to play solo guitar. From Europe, via Samba Pa Ti and all his great albums I sill own on vinyl. I never became very good at it, but his music still touches me….. cheers
Yes, please!
Great music for decades. I still have the early 70's surround sound album of Abraxas.
Looking forward to hearing the album - thanks to Carlos for years of musical enjoyment!
Just listened to Abraxas yesterday on vinyl
Maybe I'd learn to play guitar.
This would be PERFECT for the music/listening room!!1
BOOM! Let's hope the random selection app picks me!! I've always loved PRS guitars and I'll start taking lessons again if I am chosen!
What a great combo of prizes to win. I can only hope and pray they come my way. Santana on vinyl is awesome sounding.
Santana!
Was just watching "Supernatural" last night, could be an Omen???
Can't wait to hear the vinyl
Abraxis is at the top of my Desert Island list. Keep it going, Carlos! I wanna check this out ASAP. -Oakland Sam
