“JustMegan is the band project and creative vehicle for Punxsutawney-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Megan Carlson. JustMegan’s second CD, I Get What I Want, picks up where the 2006 debut Blue Avenue left off, as Megan stretches out and broadens her musical scope. She sounds more confident and expressive as a singer; exuding a sultry coyness on the upbeat title track and album-opener “I Get What I Want,” displaying bite and rancor on the charging disco-beat rocker “No Places to Run,” and sounding purposeful and determined on the hard-driving “This Town.” JustMegan’s musical vocabulary expands as well, showing a southern boogie and honky-tonk flavor on “Barefoot Blues,” a tropical island flair on “Color of the Breeze,” a vintage Patsy Cline country-blues style on “Don’t Go Away,” and a psychedelic blues-rock sound on “You Will.” Although the musical flavors vary throughout the album, JustMegan’s arrangements are more consistent and steadier as a whole, and the set flows along more smoothly than the debut. The performances from Megan and her band are spirited and loose, giving the songs a casual feel. JustMegan displays musical growth and maturity on I Get What I Want, a stronger and more confident set from an artist who is clearly enjoying the ride on this musical adventure so far. (The CD can be purchased through JustMegan’s website, www.justmegan.net.)”
