Aptly named My Town, it finds Dean reflecting on his life as a born-and-bred native of Scotland&rsquo;s capital, now raising a young daughter there himself. It also sees him flanked by a stellar guest-list of Scottish and American musicians &ndash; including ex-Burrito Brother and lap-steel legend Al Perkins, acclaimed young Scottish singer Karine Polwart, and Nashville singer/songwriter and guitarist Will Kimborough - meanwhile aligning his lifelong love of US roots idioms to some subtly-deployed folk stylings. <br/> Full album information above in the full artist description.<br/>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:58:55 -0600http://deanowens.calabashmusic.com/#album_43990
