Our Take

MEGSON's latest offering, "The Longshot," is like the musical equivalent of stumbling into a quaint English pub on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The duo, comprised of husband and wife Stu and Debbie Hanna, have crafted an album that is equal parts charming and melancholic.

From the opening track "Two Sides to Every Story," with its toe-tapping rhythms and thoughtful lyrics, it's clear that MEGSON are masters of their craft. Stu's intricate guitar work complements Debbie's soulful vocals perfectly, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Tracks like "Making Waves" and "Always Wanting More" showcase the duo's ability to tell deeply personal stories through their music. Each song feels like a glimpse into the lives of the Hannas, with lyrics that are at once introspective and universal.

The album's title track, "The Longshot," is a standout moment, with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics. It's a reminder that sometimes taking a risk is the only way to truly live.

Overall, "The Longshot" is a testament to MEGSON's talent and dedication to their craft. It's an album that begs to be listened to on repeat, each play revealing new depths and nuances. So grab a pint, settle in, and let MEGSON's music wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
