Ya Think I'd Know Better is the second album by the American musician Coco Montoya, released in 1996.[1][2] It peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart and was one of the year's best selling independent blues releases.[3][4] Montoya supported the album with a North American tour.[5] It was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award for best contemporary blues album.[6]
Recorded at 315 Beale, in Memphis, the album was produced by Jim Gaines.[6][7] Montoya decided to record a more low-key album, forgoing the many guest musicians on his debut.[8] He contributed only one songwriting credit.[9] Lee Roy Parnell played guitar on the title track.[10] "Hiding Place" was written by Warren Haynes.[11] "Dyin' Flu" was written by Albert Collins, Montoya's mentor and former employer.[12] "Fool in Love" is a cover of the Ike Turner song.[13]
