My Town (Glass Tiger song)

"My Town" is a song by Canadian band Glass Tiger. Released in August 1991 by Capitol and EMI Records as the fourth single from their third studio album, Simple Mission (1991), the song features English singer-songwriter Rod Stewart as an uncredited vocalist. Inspired by Celtic music, "My Town" was written by Glass Tiger bandmates Alan Frew, Alan Connelly and Wayne Parker, as well as Jim Cregan, who co-wrote two of Stewart's other hits. The song's lyrics are a tribute to Frew's hometown, Coatbridge, Scotland, and Stewart was invited to record the song with Glass Tiger because of his Scottish ancestry.

It became Glass Tiger's sixth top-10 hit in Canada, climbing to number eight on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart in November of the same year and ending the year as Canada's 52nd-most-successful single. In the United Kingdom, due to Stewart's appearance, the single became the band's first song to chart since "Diamond Sun" in 1988, peaking at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart. Elsewhere, "My Town" managed to chart in Germany, where it peaked at number 51.
