 Coco Montoya - Solo Debut From Blues Veteran Oct 11, 2007
Montoya is yet another blues guitarist that I have been introduced to through our local blues series. I have seen him live twice and really enjoy his brand of blues. This was Coco's first solo album, but is a blues veteran who cut his teeth in both John Mayhal's and Albert Collins bands. Montoya has a smooth effortless guitar style and a very nice voice to go with it. His songwriting is already that of a seasoned blues performer. There is lots of tasty guitar to be found here especially on the closing track, Am I Loosing You. I think this ranks up with Montoya's best albums and if you are a fan of well done blues this would be worth checking out.

This is Blue Mar 30, 2002
More country, than blue?? Listen to "Someday After Awhile" or "You Don't Love Me". How could you even mention country, These songs make me want to lay on the floor and cry. Overall, one of the best CD's I have ever heard, every song on it is good, can't go wrong buying this one

 A little more 'country music' than 'blues' Jun 21, 2001
Have to admit I have not listened to this disc very much... but am somewhat disappointed with it so far. The guitar on this album lacks that raw, innovative, edge that I heard Coco play on some of John Mayall’s songs. Also, the lyrics didn’t seem all that creative as one other reviewer suggested. However, I am obviously in the minority on this. .... ....
Coco is good Feb 27, 2001
Coco Montoya used to play drums for Albert Collins. Albert taught Coco to play guitar and it was a case of the student exceeding his teacher. This is a good album. Coco's phrasing and singing rank him with some of the best. There are many great tracks. I recommend this album and the other Coco Montoya albums. If you enjoy this, also check out 'Life in the Jungle' with John Mayall and Walter Trout.
