Australia's hottest export is poised to take over America... and it all begins with Megan Laurie's phenomenal self-titled debut.
Release Date: September 12, 2006
Full of emotion, Megan's CD takes you on a journey from sheer joy to the lonely ache of a broken heart. It's a good hearty slice of life lived to the fullest. And what a voice Megan has! The beauty and power of it are breathtaking. Megan wrote 10 of the 12 songs on her debut CD and also included her incredible renditions of "The Tear-Stained Eye" and Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Brought to life by top-notch musicians, Megan's songs are very personal. She says, "All the songs on the album are true. I didn't just sit in a bar and say, 'That person looks lonely; I'll write a song about him.' These are pieces of my life."
