We are delighted to announce that DIV 005 is the 2002 album from this massively underrated artist.

"Ron Sexsmith has been raved about by other musicians, his songs have been covered by Rod Stewart and Elton John, yet his career is still struggling to lift off. Now his 15-year marriage has also fallen apart - but at least Sexsmith has been able to reach deep into his well of despond for his best album yet. This new sonic palate gives modern life to his classy tales of blown chances, cruel luck and crueller love. The predominant mood is bittersweet, but there is a determined optimism in lines like "Sometimes you've gotta lose to win" and in the pleas for peace articulated in God Loves Everyone. The bubbly, optimistic Gold in Them Hills, featuring Coldplay's Chris Martin, offers the best shot of bringing Sexsmith to the attention of a cruel world that probably doesn't deserve him." The Guardian

Hi Fi Plus Issue 26, Reuben Perry [23.09.2003]

Music 9
"Cobblestone Runway" is the sixth outing for baby faced Ronald Eldon Sexsmith. His knowing and deeply intuitive love songs frequently have pastoral setting that dramatically contrasts with the sharp and wryly observed word craft that lies beneath songs like "Disappearing Act", "Former Glory" or "Hearts Desire". His light, airy, almost lazy voice delivers insightful moments such as "You believed in the words/ In all that they meant/ Oh but love is not some popular song/ Filled with empty sentiment" A delicacy, which extends to the supporting Sexsmith acoustic and electric guitar licks. Elsewhere the instrumental layers are provided by Martin Terefe (bass, synthesisers, marimbas) Glen Scott (Fender Rhodes, upright piano) Clas Bjorklund (synth bass, funk guitar) and Christer Jansson (drums and percussion). However, the recording taped at Electric Earth East, London is no bumpy ride. It has a pleasantly open, nicely detailed and warm sound that suits Ron Sexsmith's deliberate yet fluid approach to those puncture wounds in the heart that love always seems to leave behind. This is sensitive material sympathetically handled, and the beautiful images of summer's dying embers, or the sun striving to break through a grey cloud filled sky are images which suggest that the serene side of folk rock are safe in these hands.
