Coyote Kings - Feelin' Lucky (2007)

What do you get when you take three extremely talented Blues and Bluesrock artists (that also happen to be great friends), and turn them loose in the studio with no time restraints, no pre-conceived musical notions, and no adult supervision? You get The Coyote Kings’ FEELIN’ LUCKY!

With over 80 years combined experience recording and performing for regional, national and international audiences, Robin Barrett, Curtis “Rocket” Johnson, and “Mondo Mike” Cook make up the core of the band. Each is a respected artist in his own right, with Robin Barrett well known World-wide via the Internet for his chart topping Bluesrock, Curtis Johnson a respected drummer in the International Blues community, and Mike Cook the recognized premier “mondo” guitarist of the Northwest. FEELIN’ LUCKY features 12 original powerhouse tracks, showcasing the collective talents of the three.

What sets Coyote Kings apart from other Blues ~ Bluesrock artists? First and foremost, incredible hook oriented songs that still retain the heart and soul of Blues and Roots… the kind you’re still humming when you get home from the show… fueled by not one, but two jaw-dropping guitarists, burning up the stage like a Northwest wildfire… built around a world-class drummer, movin’ and groovin’ everyone near enough to feel it… and finally, a thundering, rock-solid bass, that makes each Coyote Kings song register a 9.4 on the Richter scale.

This album is a prime example of the Coyote Kings at their best… playing the music they love, the way they love to play it. FEELIN’ LUCKY features a variety of rockin’ Blues, from classic Blues to Blues-rock, Stax-Volt to rootsy and classic Rock-n-Roll... from New Orleans to Chicago to Austin to the West Coast and all points in between. Listening to this CD is like being at a 3 day Blues festival... You’re going to hear a lot of different styles and its all going to be great! All it takes is one listen to know FEELIN’ LUCKY is a classic!
