Can't Look Back

Coco Montoya

Alligator Records

CD reviewed by Robert Horn

Most good blues CD collections will have something by Coco Montoya, and it is easier for a CD collection to have one of his in it all the time because he is producing more of them all the time. His latest one is "Can't Look Back". It features his guitar, voice, and a number of his songs. It is on Alligator Records and if any Washington club owners want to have him perform call The Rosebud Agency at 415-386-3456 or email: info@rosebuds.com

My personal favorites on this CD are: "Something About You", "Running Away From Love", "Trip, Stumble & Fall", "I Won't Beg", and "No Longer Part of Your Dreams". None of these titles reflect any part of the lives of myself or anyone I know, really they dont, really the don't.

The music on this CD is good danceable and fun music. It is blues with a slight rock edge and anyone from 12 to 112 should like it. Coco Montoya is a skilled guitar player who is also a good vocalist and song writer. He deserves his status as a national act. If you get this CD you will probably like it. He has produced others before and I am sure he will produce many more in the years to come, so eventually you will probably get a Coco Montoya CD. Do you want one now or do you want one later? I am glad I got this one now.
