Coco Montoya (don't worry - still this side of the daisies)

HAL9000

Just discovered him. Any recommendations on a good album or two to get me started? Thanks.

As I've said before - can we put 'don't worry - not dead' in the title of threads like this?

I've got the John Mayall live DVD from 1986 with him on but he gets totally eclipsed by the stunning Walter Trout, so I can't recommend it for your purposes!

Mail order mystics from early 90's with John Mayall. Great album.

Start with the Essential Coca Montoya .. it's a decent greatest hits package.

As far as I can tell Mail Order Mystics is the track name and appears on the albums 'Wake Up Call' and 'Silver Tones: The Best Of' - Will probably order 'Wake Up Call'. Thanks.

Sorry yes, just had a look, it's called wake up call, great album, kicks off with a great solo on mail order though. Plus Mick Taylor does a cameo on album.

He was superb with John Mayall, but as per the Phillip Sayce thread, he's been pretty ordinary since he went solo. I saw him a few years back but I'm not a great fan tbh, fairly generic blues rock stuff.
