band Donation at The Sound Garden Studio
Blues Blast Magazine - Coco's cover story was featured in the August 24th, 2012 issue.
I Want It All Back, Coco's 7th solo album, was released March 23rd, 2010. The disc
was produced by Keb' Mo' and Jeff Paris, who also play on the entire album: Keb'
on rhythm guitar and Jeff on keyboards.
"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.
