Nashville, USA-based Americana duo Megan and Shane are becoming regular features on this blog. They first appeared on these pages last summer and since then have made two more appearances earlier this year with their tracks Magic Rocks and Rose Colored Glasses. Their latest features Lillie Mae and Brit Taylor, and comes complete with a video. It’s called Things Don’t Have To Change.

By Graeme Smith

Things Don’t Have To Change is a meditation on Megan’s past, and is about letting go of pain and heartache. As ever, the story is brought to life through Megan’s emotive vocals, and bright yet melancholic country rock instrumentals. The addition of Lillie’s and Mae’s vocals in the chorus give it a wonderful sense of depth.

Megan and Shane’s Peaks and Valleys LP, engineered by multi-Grammy winner Brandon Bell, is set for release on 14 July. You can watch the intimate video for Things Don’t Have to Change below.
