Nice surprice in my mail the other day;
"That
song of yours of Rikers Island demonstrates you
have what I call that "GUT" feeling when
singing--love that harmonica"
On
air in US 2021, Tommy
Lee
placed
me between my all time blues idols, you made me
proud.
I am
overwhelmed by the nice response from professional
music critics to my track on the double CD released
in November 2015, on air on the radio stations
around the world.
Sunday
March 19 th, 2017 my track "Rikers Island" was on
air on NDR.de on a program about New York. The
other artists were Alicia Keys, Grandmaster Flash,
Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Manhattan Transfer and
Frank Sinatra.
Special thank's to an Ambassadour for the Blues Hall of Fame USA
"Our
two favorites were polar opposites. Sweden’s
Maria Coyote has a quirky vocal style that is as
equally potent as her harp tone, both of which are
on full display on a colorful read of
Leadbelly’s “Rikers Island "

In
2005 I walked into a theater in USA, asked for a guitar
and entered the stage to perform Delta Blues on harmonica
and a nylon stringed guitar.
"Who
could imagine someone from Scandinavia knowing the real
old delta blues like this"
BLUES
AND MORE FROM SWEDEN
"
For
those who love the blues, there is a harmonica and
guitarist named Maria Coyote out of Sweden . Very
powerful Delta blues style, with a freedom in performance
that was present in the 20´s when that genre was at
it’s peak, and not so common now. You can find her
site at: http://www.mariacoyote.se/blues.htm Her main is
also interesting as she is a talented artist particularly
in watercolor "
The
Delta Snake blues, jazz, world music reviews and opinion,
US
"It
made me happy to hear this. The guitar sound authentic
and genuin in the blues. It is seldom to hear someone
sing the blues in the old Mississippi-Delta way. Mature
and fantastic voice without limits."
Olle
Berggren, Music critic, Sweden
"She treat the guitar the same the old blues legends did.
On harmonica she is a master. Poweful voice,"
Poul
Christofferson, journalist, Denmark
" She was held back on stage at a festival for 30 minutes
extra numbers."
"She is unique"
Olof
Nordin, journalist Sweden
"Heavy guitar"
Jazz
legend Red Mitchell
From
a Japanese blogger who placed me top of female
harpists
"One
big flaw, though, is that the ladies and non-Americans are
unconsciously or by choice overlooked. in my opinion, female
harpists
such
as Maria Coyote, Annie Raines, Willie Mae "Big Mama Thornton
etc. belong to the masters. For the non-American
influenetial harmonicists, the list is so long that I can't
make a choice."
