	Coco Montoya Review
		Coco started things off with some rich, full expressive guitar riffs on "Think About That." His guitar work had a jazzy, sophisticated sound that was very pleasing to the ear.
		Coco's passionate, atmospheric playing, along with his tight three piece backing band, transports you in time and space to a lonely walk on a dark, damp deserted street on a depressing night.
		Coco likes to get funky on occasion, as he did on the hip blues of "Same Old Thing." This was hip, expressive, modern blues at its best yet with very deep roots.

		Montoya is certainly one of the most important artists in modern blues.
		Coco transitioned to the guitar to the guitar under Collins' tutelage and then spent 10 years touring the world with Johy Mayall And The Bluesbreakers following the footsteps of the likes of Eric Clapton and Peter Green.
		Although, like his mentor Mayall, Montoya is an indifferent vocalist, he more than makes up for it with his guitar work, which is both expressive and technically brilliant--the blistering solo on "Beyond the Blues" is proof enough of that.

	Music \| Coco Montoya (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		For a textbook example of blues rock guitar, look no further than the new Coco Montoya disc.
		The long-time lead-guitarist for John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers got his start as a drummer for fierce blues-guitar stinger Albert Collins, and he’s a master of the idiom.
		His lyrics are so predictable that you can write the second couplet in a verse while his passionate but plain voice is belting out the first; and the songs and arrangements add not a dab of color to anything the Allmans — or Foghat — ever did.
