Synopsis

Amazon.com

Neal Coty's second album balances his music between rock and a soft place. Dipping into rock's songbook, he puts the twang to a mandolin-driven rendition of Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" (with spoken-word verses that sound a little goofy) and Bruce Springsteen's "Sad Eyes." As for original material, Coty's brand of contemporary country tends toward lukewarm love songs ("You're All That," "Can't Change My Love," the title track), while the Lone Star clichés of "Black Heart of Texas" and "South Texas Night" are equally squishy. Though the Maryland-raised Coty earlier showed promise with harder-hitting story songs--the album-ending "The Worst Way" provides the best example here--his sophomore effort too often pulls its punches. --Don McLeese

CD Reviews

A real treat...

"I'd never heard of Neal until I caught a small piece of the video to "Legacy." I purchased the disc when it came out and have listened to it many times since. Neal is a very refreshing change from the sound-alike hat acts that receive radio play on country music stations. My faves are the dynamite cover of Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" and the terrific title cut!! Other standouts include "The Worst Way" and "South Texas Night." The only disappointments are "This Town Ain't Big Enough" and yet another cover of Springsteen's "Sad Eyes." I think Neal could do a great job on a lot of Bruce's tunes, and bring out new sides of them. Buy this disc NOW!!!!!!"

A great voice, diminshed

"Neal Coty's first disc "Chance and Circumstance" brought me something extraordinary and new. So individual, so sharp and moving. "Legacy" on the other hand offers the general Country wash that can be had by the bucket-full on any corporate owned Nashville driven radio station. The man has GREAT TALENT, but he somehow let his tremendous and idiosyncratic personality -- his musicianship and his songwriting -- get buried here. I would love to see Neal return with a third disc that lets us hear his voice again. Man, I feel cruddy writing a negative review here. I love this guy's work. Buy his first disc. Buy two! It is spectacular."
