On The Edge Of Our Town, by Michigan songwriter and guitarist Dale Osborn, features a wonderful blend of fingerstyle guitar playing and folk lyricism. In it's essence, it's a simple album. Not all the music is simple (witness the first two instrumental tracks "Sands Of The Kalahari" and "I Hate Jetskis"), but the recording is. Featuring seven instrumental tracks among the fifteen tunes, there are no drums, no bass tracks, no overdubs, no effects--just a guy and a guitar and some friends helping with harmony. Recorded live in the studio using close-miking techniques, On The Edge Of Our Town gets you as close to a Dale Osborn live performance as you can get without a plane ticket to Michigan.
