"In a world of blues guitar pretenders, Coco Montoya is the real
McCoy. Be prepared to get scorched." - Billboard
"The fiery blues that issue forth from Coco Montoya's guitar are
awe-inspiring and boogie requiring." - The Village Voice
"Blistering contemporary blues... piercing attack, funky, shivery
guitar tones and aggressive, soulful vocals" - Blues Revue
"He is one of the truly gifted blues artists of his generation" -
Living Blues
Best New Blues Artist Winner at the Blues Music Awards (1996).
Mentored by legendary bluesman Albert Collins, Coco went on to
become the guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for ten
years before leading his own band. A self taught guitar slinger who
plays with an emotional intensity few string benders possess, he
plays left-handed and up side down in the style of Albert King and
Jimi Hendrix.
