Carlos Santana doesn't stop at just new material for his 2005 release All That I Am; the CD hits the streets with a blindingly bright lineup of guest stars: Joss Stone, Mary J. Blige, Will.i.Am, Steven Tyler, Bo Bice, and a batch of others step up, tugging a listener into territory marked less by "Oye Como Va" than by an obsession with VMA-worthy performances. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Songs like "Twisted," with Anthony Hamilton, and "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love," with Los Lonely Boys, find the original Latin guitar god grooving in a vein similar to the one that caused charts to explode and careers to scrape the stratosphere when he teamed with Rob Thomas for 1999's "Smooth."
