By 1995, after five years in Albert Collins's band and 10 years in John Mayall's band, guitarist Coco Montoya had been studying his field so long he deserves a doctorate in the blues. Serving as his dissertation is his first solo album, Gotta Mind to Travel, an impressive document which should pass muster with any examining committee. Montoya has long been known as a tasteful, eloquent guitarist, but on this debut he also reveals a surprisingly strong, supple singing voice and a clever instinct for songwriting. The result is the emergence of an already mature talent on his very first solo project. --Geoffrey Himes

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

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.

私がブルースを意識して最初に購入したＣＤがこれ。この１枚が私のブルースの好みを決定付けたといっていい。ドロドロのブルースではなく、ロックのエッセンスがたっぷり詰め込まれた極めて聴きやすいブルース、だと思っていたが、このあとのココ・モントーヤはますますロック色を強めていくので、今聴くともっともブルースらしいアルバムとなっている。師でもあるアルバート・コリンズと競演している「3.Talkin' Woman Blues」もいいが、何よりもラストの一曲、「10.Am I Losing You」が絶品。切なくて切なくて何度聴いても涙してしまう。ココ・モントーヤの全アルバムの中でもダントツで光っている。この一曲を聴くだけでも買う価値あり。

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!
