Merseybeast is an album by Ian McNabb, his third as a solo artist. The name is a play on "Merseybeat", a 1960s musical genre and movement. Merseybeast is also the title of Ian McNabb's autobiography, published in 2008. A second CD entitled North West Coast was also released in limited quantities.[2] The album peaked at No. 30 on the official UK charts.[3]

Roch Parisien of Allmusic praised McNabb's "open, wide-eyed innocence" on the album, remarking that the sentiments expressed in the songs defy the conventions of rock music, and that his sincerity makes them work. The site gave Merseybeast a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5.[1]
