What is the name of the Carlos Santana album released in 2010?

The story behind the answer

The Carlos Santana album released in 2010 was Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time. Released on September 21, 2010, it is Santana’s 21st studio album and is commonly shortened to Guitar Heaven.

Unlike many Santana releases, the album is made entirely of classic-rock covers rather than primarily original songs. The project reworks songs associated with artists including Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Deep Purple, Van Halen, The Doors and Cream.

A notable feature is its long list of guest vocalists. Chris Cornell sings on “Whole Lotta Love,” Rob Thomas appears on “Sunshine of Your Love,” Chris Daughtry performs “Photograph,” Chester Bennington sings “Riders on the Storm,” and Joe Cocker contributes vocals to “Little Wing.” India.Arie and Yo-Yo Ma appear on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

The title can cause confusion because “Guitar Heaven” sounds like a greatest-hits compilation, but it is a studio covers album by Santana. It debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200.
