This was Coco Montoya's first solo outing after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and it does not disappoint! Strong vocals and gr-r-reat guitar sound backed by a very good selection of musicians including Debbie Davies, who, like Coco, started out as a member of Albert Collins' band. I recently saw Coco live on tour supporting his latest release Hard Truth and he keeps getting better with every album. But this being his first one does not mean that it is a so-so debut; it rocks the blues. Buy it!

Montoya is yet another blues guitarist that I have been introduced to through our local blues series. I have seen him live twice and really enjoy his brand of blues. This was Coco's first solo album, but is a blues veteran who cut his teeth in both John Mayhal's and Albert Collins bands. Montoya has a smooth effortless guitar style and a very nice voice to go with it. His songwriting is already that of a seasoned blues performer. There is lots of tasty guitar to be found here especially on the closing track, Am I Loosing You. I think this ranks up with Montoya's best albums and if you are a fan of well done blues this would be worth checking out. (Amazon Reviews)
