Our Take

Coco Montoya's latest album, "Writing On The Wall", hits harder than a pint of warm beer at a football match. The seasoned blues musician showcases his fiery guitar skills and soulful vocals on this 10-track opus that feels like a whirlwind tour of the grittiest blues joints in London.

From the scorching opener "Good Man Gone" to the haunting ballad "I Wouldn't Wanna Be You", Montoya takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through heartbreak, redemption, and everything in between. The album's production is crisp and clean, allowing Montoya's virtuoso playing to shine through like a beacon of pure sonic bliss.

Standout tracks include the foot-stomping "Ain't I A Good Man", the soulful "Lights Are On But Nobody's Home", and the gritty closer "Truth Be Told". Montoya's songwriting is as sharp as a well-worn cricket bat, cutting through the noise with poignant lyrics and infectious melodies.

Overall, "Writing On The Wall" is a must-listen for any blues aficionado or music lover looking for a taste of authentic British blues. Coco Montoya proves once again that he's a true master of his craft, delivering an album that's as satisfying as a plate of fish and chips after a long night at the pub. Grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let Coco Montoya's bluesy magic wash over you like a torrential rainstorm in Manchester. Cheers!
