"Cole Allen is the type of blues / rock guitarist we always dream of; the type that comes around only once in a Venus eclipse. But once is all it takes, after seeing or hearing this guy perform his guitar magic for the first time, you'll be hooked and know exactly why. Cole undoubtedly has that special talent, the "it" factor that can't be taught, it can't be learned, and isn't easily found anywhere else. It's every guitarists goal; your guitar becoming the true extension of your emotional self, but the type of gift you're just naturally born with and bred and fed under only the right circumstances and type of lights. Even playing behind his back and over his head, but he'd be the first to tell you it's got nothing to do with bragging rights. Headed For Hollywood is the first studio album from Cole and the Cole Allen Band, previously relying on live recordings and videos to keep his audience happy. For his true fans though, this album is exactly what we've all been waiting for; the culmination of these talents saved and packaged nicely onto this short 5-track EP, with the title track appearing on the right side here. Each of the songs on this album gives their own unique blues / rock feel only Cole and his band can deliver, with of course, strong lead guitars and sharp meaningful vocals beautifully produced by Cole himself. The rest of the band includes Craig Williams on Bass and vocal backing, and Paul Peterson on Drums. Not too complicated, until you start to ask yourself how the sum of the parts suddenly becomes greater than the whole." - Mplsmusic.com
