Ron Sexsmith tours Carousel One, which follows Forever Endeavour and Late Bloomer
Carousel One is a warm, deeply involving set that showcases Sexsmith’s great empathy and occasional sentimentality, but also his often-overlooked playfulness. Although the sound and feel are inspired by ’70s albums from the likes of Phoebe Snow and Gerry Rafferty, it’s a record that sounds very fresh and modern.
Producer Jim Scott – introduced to Ron by Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies) – assembled a seasoned band: bass player Bob Glaub (John Lennon, Lucinda Williams, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Dolly Parton); guitarist Jon Graboff (John Lee Hooker, Dr John); drummer Don Heffington (Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris); and keys player John Ginty (Dixie Chicks, Whiskeytown, Neal Casal, Matthew Sweet).
