Diving Into Deep Blues
Wall Street Journal
“I was always in awe of his music and never even thought to try it really but when they suggested it to me I thought ‘Well give it a shot. ‘ I’ve always loved the blues and especially the type on the new record — but some of them were so tough that I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do them. The suggestion that the veteran singer of cowpoke ballads and protest songs and teller of rambling often hilarious personal stories that gave him his nickname take up darker bone-cutting acoustic blues came from performer and producer Joe Henry. Henry has recently produced notable CDs that brought new 21st-century audiences to Solomon Burke Bettye LaVette and Allen Toussaint.

The Patriot Ledger
Bayliss who lived in Wellesley in the mid-’80s when his father worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said the band always welcomes a return to Boston one of the first East Coast markets to support it after it broke out of South Bend Ind. (where it was originally based) in the late 1990s. No sooner has “Mantis” arrived that the band is getting antsy for more new music. “It’s only been two months since we put out ‘Mantis’ so there’s a part of us that is trying to enjoy this a while before we start talking about the next one” Bayliss said. “But it’s kind of hard to do that – you have to keep producing.

The Patriot Ledger
MILLERFor The Patriot LedgerPosted Apr 06 2009 @ 02:30 PM It might have been a sense of relief after a weekend of travel nightmares but guitarist Coco Montoya and his band delivered one of the year’s most incendiary concerts Saturday night at the Narrows Center. The two-hour-plus show culminated in an impromptu jam encore with Plymouth harmonica ace Tall Richard joining Montoya for a run through the old blues shuffle “Baby Won’t You Please Come Home. ”Montoya and his band had been snowed in for a couple days in Denver. Their flight eventually landed late Saturday afternoon forcing the band to borrow some equipment in order to begin on time. That wasn’t the end of it. After the Tall King Revue a stripped down duo version of Tall Richard’s Vineyard Voodoo Kings foursome finished its 35-minute opening set Montoya and his band were three songs into their set when one of the stage monitors malfunctioned creating a 10-minute delay.
