Coco Montoya - Dirty Deal CD
A grizzly-bear guitar tone and diamond-hard riffs are the strongest cards of this former Albert Collins and John Mayall sideman. Montoya turns them in often on these 11 tunes, right from the opening "Last Dirty Deal," which absolutely roars, to the climactic final solo of "There Ain't No Brakeman on This Train," which concludes the album with a flourish of six-string ferocity.

Coco Montoya - Can't Look Back CD
Given his past work with starmaker John Mayall and Albert Collins, it's no surprise that Coco Montoya has turned out solid, consistent blues-rock since his debut in 1995. Can't Look Back is his second album since his move to Alligator Records, and it's very similar to 2000's Suspicion in sound and structure.
2000 Alligator Records
Coco Montoya - Suspicion CD
Guitarist Coco Montoya started out playing rock & roll, and it shows. On his fourth album, the former John Mayall and Albert Collins sideman rocks his blues hard, with the occasional soul-flavored ballad thrown in for variety.
1997 Blind Pig
Coco Montoya - Just Let Go CD
It was Albert Collins who hired Coco Montoya as a drummer in 1972 and then taught the young Californian how to play guitar during their five years on the road together. On his third solo album, Just Let Go, Montoya pays tribute to his mentor with a smoldering version of Collins's slow blues, "Do What You Want to Do."
1996 Blind Pig
Coco Montoya - Ya Think I'd Know Better CD
Coco Montoya is a artist that deserves much praise in my book. A former apprentice of Albert Collins, Coco has come into his own. Playing his own stellar guitar, singing with a passion that just doesn't come from practice, but experience. Coco's rough, gruff and raw vocals sting every track while white hot guitar riffs peel layer after layer of your soul apart.
1995 Blind Pig
Coco Montoya - Gotta Mind to Travel CD
By 1995, after five years in Albert Collins's band and 10 years in John Mayall's band, guitarist Coco Montoya had been studying his field so long he deserves a doctorate in the blues. Serving as his dissertation is his first solo album, Gotta Mind to Travel, an impressive document which should pass muster with any examining committee.
