By: Nina Mende

Ronald Eldon Sexsmith is a Canadian singer-songwriter from St. Catharines, Ontario, currently based in Toronto. He started his own band when he was fourteen years old, and released the first recordings of his own material seven years later, in 1985. Some of the same artists who inspired Sexsmith—Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Ray Davies and John Hiatt—are now people whose praise he has won. Ron Sexsmith is the subject of the film “Love Shines”, directed by Douglas Arrowsmith and produced by Paperny Films. “Love Shines” premiered at the 2010 Vancouver International Film Festival on Friday, October 8, 2010.

Now Ron Sexsmith has released his new album called “Long Player Late Bloomer”. Thirteen groovy tracks that are perfect to sway along. The music is spreading a happy mood. One or the other might have heard a song of Ron Sexsmith on the soundtrack for the TV series “The OC” before and therefore know this calming voice that somehow makes you feel comfortable. I guess this album can be considered as country music and even though I would not quite consider myself a big country music fan, I do admit that I love this album from the very first second I pressed play. The colorful sound is just what you need in this dull world. “Long Player Late Bloomer” is a wonderful album, enjoy!
