“One of the most prodigious and gifted electric bluesmen on the
planet…a deeply soulful singer and incendiary guitarist [with] a
seemingly endless penchant for invention.” –AllMusic “Smoking songs and
heavy hitting guitar full of fire and passion…Montoya’s rough-edged
voice is filled with feeling. Bluesy, powerful and
unpredictable…[It]really gets the blood flowing.” –Blues Music Magazine
“Montoya is a show-stopper…heartfelt singing and merciless guitar
with a wicked icy burn. He is one of the truly gifted blues artists of
his generation.” –Living Blues
“’Just play what you feel, be real about it, and enjoy yourself.’
That’s what Albert Collins taught me,” says the award-winning guitar
virtuoso and soul-deep singer Coco Montoya. The self-taught, left-handed
Montoya mastered his craft under Collins’ tutelage. Incorporating
lessons learned from his mentors, the iconic Collins (for whom he
originally drummed), and UK legend John Mayall, Montoya puts his own
stamp onto every song he performs. Since his first solo album in 1995
(which won him the Blues Music Award for Best New Artist), Montoya’s
endlessly inventive guitar work and passionate, hard-hitting vocals have
kept him at the top of the blues world. With his new Alligator Records
album, Writing On The Wall (his sixth for the label), Montoya delivers
what he is already calling one of the best records he’s ever made. For
the very first time on Alligator, he decided to bring his road-tested
band—noted keyboardist and songwriter Jeff Paris (Keb’ Mo’, Bill
Withers), bassist Nathan Brown, and drummer Rena Beavers—into the studio
with him. Between the camaraderie of the long-time bandmates and the
sheer talent of all involved, the results have left Coco, in his words,
“over the moon.”
