On the Edge of Town - an original song

Wrote this one after driving by an old motel which is no longer a motel but there are people who apparently live there. They come out when the sun goes down, these broken people on the edge of town.

Played on the guitars in the video - a Yamaha acoustic and a 4 string Ashton cigar box guitar, unplugged.

LOL and thanks Andries, I liked doing the video this way, much less worry when recording the song. It went faster recording the tracks separately and without the camera on which makes me freeze.

Thank you Richard, I recorded all the parts on separate tracks for better control and mixing. Much appreciate your comments as always!

Nice job, Derek! Hope to see you again at the Oak Ridge Festival next year.

Must be released as an album and individually autographed on the CD by Mr Rose, Jim lol. Nobody likes court orders so we'll start a petition I think. You handle Stateside signatures and I'll get the ball rolling this side of the pond?

In all seriousness though, I really do believe this could be in the charts and I'd love to buy an album by the man himself.

Yeah Bear, I try to avoid court orders but it wouldn't be too hard to put together an album of favorite Derek Rose songs. Even tech challenged old guys like myself might be able to figure that out.

Comment by Slow Blues Dani & Ol' Grey Bear on November 3, 2017 at 8:33am
Hear, hear Jim! I think we should get a petition going requesting an album release by Mr Rose. Failing that, maybe a court order?

This is excellent songwriting Derek. Well played and sung too but the story and the song just blew me away.
