It was Ashley Stein who introduced me to the music of Megan Black. Speaking of the Scottish songwriter, who performed at Ashley and Gillian's Women In Music: It's Brutal Out Here event last month, Ashley said "She's kind of what I imagine Janis Joplin would have been like to talk to, as a person?" Like La Joplin, Black has clearly been blessed with the kind of knock 'em dead combination of voice and stage presence that comes along all too rarely.
While 'Just For Fun' was released in 2022, it's not included on Black's album of that year, Deadly Is The Woman, which is a shame. A stand alone track that struts like a champion and snarls with style, it serves as a particularly epic calling card for Megan Black. We have certainly not heard the last of her.
