简介:  If you like your country music on the honky-tonkin' light side, you can't go wrong with Neal McCoy. Hits like "Wink," "You Gotta Love That," and "The Shake" (the only new track included ) may border on novelty, but they sure are fun. McCoy's Greatest Hits also presents some top-notch ballads with "No Doubt About It" and a remake of the Casinos "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye." He even manages to stray from the festive and/or romantic mold with a nice slice of acidity titled "If I Was A Drinkin' Man."   Unlike most major label country artists who have emerged over the past decade, it took three albums before McCoy got his first big hit with "No Doubt About It" in late 1993. He only released a couple of albums since then, and with a few tracks included here that didn't make it near the country top ten, it would appear this Greatest Hits collection was a little premature. It certainly is skimpier than other recent country sets, at ten tracks totalling 33 minutes in length (this was the unfortunate standard in country music just a couple of years ago). Ultimately, like a lot of McCoy's music, this set is fine - just not substantial.
