Photographer: Raj Naik. Six-string slinger Adrian Legg performs true to stellar form on this 2004 release. As on many of his previous recordings, INHERITANCE is characterized by Legg's genre-hopping approach to the guitar, blending bits of folk, classical, blues, and rock into a seamless aesthetic that thrills, lulls, and shows off Legg's prodigious technical skills. Beginning with the bright, groovy blues-bluegrass opener "Nefertiti--What a Sweetie!," INHERITANCE then swings through styles such as waltz ("A Waltz for Leah"), Cajun grunge ("More Fun in the Swamp"), Celtic ("Doublejigs"), and expansive ambient ("Psalm with No Words"). The focus of the album is Legg's acoustic guitar, although strings and a battery of effects accompany him at times, lending depth and dimension to his sound. For the most part, however, Legg lets his fingers work their magic, pulling off dazzling runs, funky syncopations, and delicate passages played with great feeling. Whether working a mesmerizing rhythmic pattern ("English Blue") or approximating open, cinematic landscapes ("Emneth"), Legg's music is varied and accomplished enough to appeal to listeners of many different stripes.
