Apparently, iTunes shuffle mode was in the mood yesterday for songs about the precariousness of relationships. It paired two compelling vocals-with-acoustic-guitar tracks, Michelle Malone's "The Edge" with "Knife Edge" by Brooks Williams. Both songs convey the honest yet hopeful message, "It won't always be smooth sailing, but we should still be together." Both tunes are well-crafted gems. Alas, I've only heard "Knife Edge" on the radio once, and I've never heard any station play "The Edge."
So many acoustic standouts get such limited exposure, unfortunately.
