A cautious release from a songwriter admired by the likes of Elton John.
Eleven studio albums in, Sexsmith is no longer the "next big thing" in traditional songwriting. The Canadian has settled into a cosy niche as respected craftsman admired by the likes of Elton John and Chris Martin, his songs lending titles to Nick Hornby books, his work covered by Rod Stewart, Elvis Costello and Tom Jones. Recently a duet with Michael Bublé filled his coffers, and it was hearing what producer Bob Rock (previously known for rather heavier offerings with Metallica and Mötley Crüe) had done with Bublé that convinced him the former head-banger could usher his ballads onto the airwaves.
Canadese singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith heeft jaren geleden al de harten veroverd van de mensen die hij zelf bewondert. Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello en Ray Davies zijn mateloos enthousiast over hem, maar de harten van het grote publiek lijken steeds net buiten bereik.
