Free Music Review: Sexsmith's finest
Hit: 5 Stars
For unparalleled songcraft, charm and beauty look no further than Ron Sexsmith's Whereabouts, it really is a pleasure to own this album. Sexsmith has garnered a cult following over the past six or seven years and it's easy to hear why - his are songs that are as captivating as they are lovely. There is a deceptive simplicity to tunes like 'Riverbed' or 'Seem To Recall' in part due to Sexsmith's superb voice fitting his material like a glove; it's clear that in terms of songwriting he's in the zone - it all comes off with seemingly apparent ease. 'Still Time' is a wonderful opener with Sexsmith's natural modesty, oddly, shining through; "..we may never win, but while there's still hope - there's still time." Befitting of the cover art, 'Right About Now' is decidedly autumnal - measured, poignant but quite splendid all the same, as is most everything throughout. As a whole this record is a shade better than Ron Sexsmith's much heralded debut, and when it catches you on the right day Whereabouts is Sexsmith at his most beguiling and graceful best.
Whereabouts Poster
Import pressing of his 1999 studio album for Universal. Long deleted in the US.Pop is one of the most overused terms in the rock-critic lexicon, but on Whereabouts, Ron Sexsmith's third and most ambitious album to date, the brilliant Canadian singer-songwriter offers up 12 pop gems. "Still Time," the opening track, kicks things off with a purpose. Featuring an immediately memorable and haunting guitar riff, Beach Boys-style harmonies, and a hopeful yet melancholic lyrical theme ("Still time for love"), it could be mistaken as an outtake from the Kinks song book. Likewise, "Right About Now" has a distinctly Lennon-esque flair. Sexsmith's familiar idiosyncratic-yet-warm Jackson Browne-like vocals give all 12 tracks a certain sadness. Sexsmith and producer Mitchell Froom temper the darkness with neat tricks of the trade--be they the harpsichord that fades in and out of "Still Time," the banjo and violin on "Riverbed," the heavy piano riff that opens the wonderful "Feel for You," the lo-fi organ that pops up on "The Idiot Boy," or the New Orleans-meets-cabaret orchestra that gives "One Grey Morning" additional charm. This is melancholic pop, to be sure, but it all hurts so good. Whereabouts is further proof that Sexsmith is one of the most important artists to come out of the 1990s. --Bill Holdship
