I have been a blues listner for a very long time and this is the best that I think I have ever heard. His music is smooth and yet at the same time it packs a maximum PUNCH. I have turned all my friends on to Coco and they all want MORE. I would Love to see him in concert. He is the BEST.

One listen to this CD and you will be hooked! Every song on this offering is different but all amazing. Too bad the boy can't play guitar! (only kidding). If you think the CD is good, try and check out a live performance! Coco, if you're listening, come back to San Diego! Again and again and again.........

THIS WILL BECOME ONE OF YOUR MOST PLAYED CD'S. COCO IS "ONE OF THE BEST" GUITARISTS IN THE WORLD. ADD THIS AND THE REST OF HIS CD'S TO YOUR COLLECTION AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY. HE ALSO PUTS ON A FANTASTIC SHOW THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS.

Whenever I play this CD, everyone wants to know the artist and name of the CD so they get a copy. It's certainly Coco Montoya's best work.

More country, than blue?? Listen to "Someday After Awhile" or "You Don't Love Me". How could you even mention country, These songs make me want to lay on the floor and cry.

Overall, one of the best CD's I have ever heard, every song on it is good, can't go wrong buying this one

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.

Coco Montoya used to play drums for Albert Collins. Albert taught Coco to play guitar and it was a case of the student exceeding his teacher. This is a good album. Coco's phrasing and singing rank him with some of the best. There are many great tracks. I recommend this album and the other Coco Montoya albums. If you enjoy this, also check out 'Life in the Jungle' with John Mayall and Walter Trout.

Not quite as good as some earlier CD's I have but still good

Have to admit I have not listened to this disc very much... but am somewhat disappointed with it so far. The guitar on this album lacks that raw, innovative, edge that I heard Coco play on some of John Mayall’s songs. Also, the lyrics didn’t seem all that creative as one other reviewer suggested. However, I am obviously in the minority on this. .... ....
