Over the course of his 30-year career, guitarist and vocalist Coco
Montoya's explosive guitar playing and soul-driven voice have propelled
him to the upper reaches of the blues-rock world. From his early days as
a drummer to his current status as one of the top-drawing guitarists and
vocalists on the blues-rock scene, Montoya has forged his reputation
through years of hard work and constant touring. And it all started with
a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert
Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Albert took an
immediate liking to Montoya, becoming his mentor and teaching his new
protégé secrets of the Collins "icy hot" style of blues guitar. Five
years later, John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and
was blown away. This led to Montoya's touring the world for ten years
with the legendary Bluesbreakers. Since stepping out as a bandleader in
1993, Montoya has released four solo albums and has performed non-stop
at clubs, concert halls and major festivals all over the world. At every
show, fans' jaws dropped, and critics raved about Montoya's mind-bending
guitar licks and impassioned vocals. "The fiery blues that issue forth
from Coco Montoya's guitar are awe-inspiring and boogie requiring,"
shouted The Village Voice. "Blistering, pure blues," cheered Blues
Revue. Now, with Can't Look Back (AL 4885), Montoya turns up the
intensity with another dose of his feral, soul-stirring music.

"Blistering contemporary blues...piercing attack, funky, shivery guitar
tones and aggressive, soulful vocals" - Blues Revue

"In a world of blues guitar pretenders, Coco Montoya is the real McCoy.
Be prepared to get scorched." - Billboard
