  • Best album of the last 12 months

    . Hadn't come across Ron until the BBC documentary last year and have played it to death since. There is good music around after all

  • Why is it so hard to look up Ron's music on YouTube? The fact that he has "Sex" in his last name? Great work google, you bunch of muppets.

  • awesome ; ^ ]

  • can't believe that he has only so few clicks. He is so amazing!!

  • I went to see Ron last night. Just him and his guitar ( oh and he played piano ) he was absolutely fantastic. I couldn't take my eyes and ears off him. We sat within touching distance. He got a MASSIVE standing ovation and came back to do 3 more songs. This man is too modest and hasn't got a single ounce of 'big-headedness' or 'yes it's me, look at me I'm great' Thing is, he IS AMAZING and I really think he doesn't know it himself.

  • I want all his albums and I was tempted to get them online for freeeeee.....sod that! I'm buying them all so I can put some money into this man's pocket! love him!

  • What a delightful voice this bloke has!! love him!!

  • What a beauty you are Ron!

    

  • cool as...

    

  • I am back again for another fix of your fantastic music

  • a haunted genius

    

  • saw this guy live he is the best singer live ever seen he is truly amazing he should be 100% more famous if u ask me

  • i just love reading all the comments here. only really discovered Ron recently and then saw him live. Instant love. as some have said, his demeanor is captivating; we met him afterwards and took pictures together. if only i knew before i met him how much i love him now.

  • There's real talent there! :)

  • @faeryquene Thanks for listening, my good friend.  Please pass it on! x Linda.

  • ...saw him last night at Leamington Spa. I've seen over 300 live shows and this went straight to number 1!! Just amazing.....its hard to think of new superlatives, gives you faith in humanity!!! Just go and see him....new dates added for later this year in the UK!!!

  • i hear this on the radio all the time it's catchy!

  • I just discovered Ron after watching a BBC4 docu where Bob Rock produced the new cd. Awesome.  I had tears in my eyes at points, NOT in sympathy but for the simple beauty of the mans demeanor, the songs and I can also relate to the way Ron struggles with self esteem issues when no apology to anyone is needed!! Firstly I thought wow this guy is the son of Macca and Costello but I hear a lot of other voices in the mix too. If Steve Earle et al give the man a nod..who can argue? I'm converted!!

  • Comment removed

  • For someone who does not like this genre I LOVE this song! I didn't believe it until I saw it!

  • Beautiful song and loved the HBO Canada documentary (though I'm thoroughly peeved to learn you're not well-remunerated for your efforts or even especially happy). I will definitely buy the new record. I had no idea people like me -- fans who love and value what you do -- have not provided the support you need and deserve.

  • Cracking song, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck! Great vocalI, laid-back style that I love from so much of the 70's music (yes, sadly I am that old...) So many layers of music from the other instruments, and that haunting electric guitar... WOW!

  • Cracking song, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck!

  • reminds of a kid at my school that used to get bullied for looking a little wierd. AND NO IT WERNT ME FOR THE COMEDIANS AMONGST U. Come to think of it my photo does look kinda odd. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

    I'm sure he's a top bloke - and the song is awesome

  • The concert was fabulous. Ron Sexsmith writes such wonderful songs. His work is a masterpiece.

    I am mesmerized by the pure beauty of Ron's voice. Wow x

  • This album is gem . Some of the tracks give me butterflies.

  • t

    This album is gem . Some of the tracks give me butterflies

  • Wonderful, heartfelt and poetic all at once. He has has that rare Bukowski gift of saying in very few words what lesser artists need chapters to get across... WTG Ron.

  • Dont get the Gerry Rafferty comments... I think they both have very different sounds vocally and instrumentally.

  • My favourite Ron Sexsmith song. Such lovely evocative lyrics sung with that stunning voice and beautiful classical arrangements...... Wonderful!!

  • I wish the sound wasn't so electric, but I guess thats just me.

  • A totally tremendous song!

  • Why isn't this song on the radio?? especially in his home country Canada??

  • The slide lead....so beautiful, and also catchy

  • Ron's current tour is growing arms and legs. London Southbank Centre as part of Ray Davies` Meltdown and at other small UK venues being added as the ball keeps rolling. Mainstream UK radio needs the shot in the arm this guy can give.

  • I have to say that I really enjoyed the recent BBC TV documentary about the making of this album and could finally put a name to the voice I've heard before. However I can't help thinking that as good as Bob Rock is this style misses the mark by being too overproduced and middle of the road, Ron's lyrics seem to get drowned out by too many guitar riffs and loud / unsubtle drumming.

    Still I now know who writes some the most beautiful songs I've heard.

  • what a genius

  • Gerry Rafferty was a great guy, but I feel that Ron is more than a replacement. He has his individual style, pace and vision. Artists should not be replaced in our lives like gerbils. They are important in giving us our perspective and world view.

    No offence Prawnball11 - I am sure that you didn;t mean it that way.

  • Heard Beleive it when I see it on Radio 2 and instantly loved it. Never heard of Ron but he did remind me of the late Gerry Rafferty. Watched the BBC 4 documentry and thought he sounded interesting, I felt sorry for him but I am sure fame & fortune would not suit him. Brought the CD it is class he has great voice, he has repalced Tom Petty in my car ! I also love Strawberry Blonde

  • The video does nothing for the brilliant song. Here's my video version.

  • I walked up to thank Ron after an in store performance at Waterloo Records in Austin. He was quiet, sincere, shook my hand and thanked me for coming. His hands are those of workingman, rough like carpenter. This guy is true inspiration to an amateur songwriter like myself, and every tune is a treasure. See him and believe it.

  • Absolutely amazing! rock on ronnington!

  • FUCKIN AWESOME

  • When I went to buy his album they were all gone., but one .I got it ! Yeah! Now I walk around Kensington,here in Calgary so proudly singing believe it when I see it.I think he made this album just to get hugely famous,(aswell as blessing us all with his beautifull music) and I think it's definately a smart move.We have a gazillian radio stations here,I think he's gonna be on more of them soon .Just a feeling.Thank-you too, Bob Rock.

  • I love this mans aura, he exudes humilty, and has a rare gift to write for love of writing., putting the buisness side of the industry last.This song is so infectous,ive got to share, a supreme talent..Awesome xxxx

  • I'm a 12 year-old girl, and I love Ron Sexsmith. I can't wait to see him in London. Please watch my video, I'm also a singer-songwriter. I'm no where near as talented as Ron, but I've tried, haha. Please watch my song.

    watch?v=qv96yJYhk3M

  • @cerystalkstoyouall good luck girl, don't ever give up on your dreams. haven't seen the song yet, but I will.

  • Beautiful tune, Ron!

  • This guy is a genius. Nice to know there are still some good singer song writers around whe you consider the crap that is passing its self off as music these days.

  • love the flower vase..

  • Another brilliant song from a master craftsman.

  • I reckon I'm probably the only 12 year-old girl in the world who likes Ron Sexsmith. I'm inspired by him.. his music is beautiful. I write music, and a lot of it is inspired by him. I look forward to seeing him in London soon. Please check out two of my songs:

    /watch?v=CpGgA13hRdI

  • Quality songwriter, anyone else thinks he sounds a bit like Paul Mccartney and Paul Young rolled into one? That's just an observation not a criticism, I think he's got a great voice actually. Wonderful song, sung from the heart, some of the best songs come from our inner turmoil, poor Ron, he must be suffering!! Can't wait to see him live.

  • Amazing song! I loves it!

  • its been a revelation coming across this guy. Really looking forward to going over back catalogue and i only came across him last Friday on BBC. Proper songwriter.

  • Guys - join this Facebook group - we need to get this album to No.1 in the UK - can we do anything similar in US? This guy needs to be recognised!

    "Get Ron Sexsmith to number 1 in the album chart"

    Sorry - not sure how to share the group address yet! Just search in FB!

  • Was blown away again this past Saturday by Ron and his band. A truly great songwriter and very humble person to talk to. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us Ron.

    I've posted a live perfomance of " Believe It When I See It" from Saturday's show on my channel.

  • Buy it and make it a hit

  • Saw him for first time this weekend, Really good.

  • I saw him on UK t.v. for the first time on Friday evening, he is fantastic

  • If you havn't bought this CD yet, please go out and buy it:) you won't be disappointed...this guy deserves to be heard by anybody that appreciates the highest quality of music around:)

  • heard the song on radio2, watched the documentary on bbc4. just magic and it's made me want to pick up the guitar again after a couple of years off. Dont give up making these gems Ron you are appreciated.

  • hot dang, have loved Ron Sexsmiths voice for sooooh long, a guilty secret deliciously entertaining.... friends (?) left and right ignored this guy,,,until I played this at a party,,,AND THEN WHAAAAAM...who is this guy why have I not heard him before?????? Well now!!!!

  • I head this on a BBC4 with just him and his guitar and I thought it sounded OK. With this backing and arrangement, it sounds great.

  • HE REMINDS ME OF RUFUS WAINRIGHT ! AWESOME !

  • This album is chock-full of great tracks. Get In Line, Late Bloomer, Micheal and his Dad, Everytime I follow, and the closer on the album, Nowadays... Love this album.

    Thanks Ron Sexsmith!

  • Never heard of Ron until today on Radio 2. As someone else has already commented, I initially thought it was Gerry Rafferty I was listening to, but knew it couldn't be as I have all of Gerry's albums and never recognised the song.

    After losing Gerry a few weeks back it's actually great to find a very similar sounding replacement to fill the gap. I look forward to going over his back catalogue.

  • @PRAWNBALL11 Ron is from Canada, he's been in the pop scene for more than 5 years. The 1st time I heard him was on the CHUM Top 30 Countdown in Toronto, my guess would be 2003-2004. He was a hit from nearly his 1st release. It's nice someone is exposing you to music not made in the restrictive/controlling Hollywood USA!!

    Just looked it up, #45 RON SEXSMITH - WHATEVER IT TAKES, Was their Pop Top 100 -2004 song list.

  • @MusikLover8 I'm from Toronto and Ron has been putting out great music since 1991 - People like Joan Baez, Rod Stewart ( Secret Heart) and Michael Bublé (Whatever It Takes) have covered his songs. Sir Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello are huge fans - I have all 12 or so of his CD's!

  • @PRAWNBALL11 I loved Gerry Rafferty ever since the Humblebums days before Stealer's Wheel. Ron has been putting out great CD's in Canada since 1991 and is every bit as good as Gerry was as a songwriter!

  • @PRAWNBALL11 I feel exactly the same about Ron sounding like Gerry! brilliant, both of them! I'm going to see Ron on the 25th, I can't wait!!

  • @PRAWNBALL11 He loved Gerry Rafferty and last night he finished the set with 'right down the line'.!! Please try and get to see him, he is absolutely amazing! and deserves so much more recognition. If I had the money to advertise him myself, I would!!

  • love the song, does he always look so sad

  • @foly7huck He's nervous.

  • Superb! Ron is the best.

    I also met him once and he his a lovely guy.

    BoB

  • Heard it on Radio 2 this week. First song I've heard by him and I'm hooked.

  • My favorite and greatest songwriter ever...anyone whose knows Ron knows this guy pumps out amazing song after amazing song. And he keeps getting better. The new album is amazing and probably his best work yet...and he has a catalog of incredible music. He deserves to be rich and famous..somehow...someday.

  • @kencree - amen.

  • Comment removed

  • This song always reminds me of 'Once More With Feeling' the Buffy musical episode - it's really haunting - just love it! Cant get it out of my head.

  • Sounds kinda like Rufas Wainwright

  • Possibly and probably the greatest songwriter around. This song sounds timeless. Wonderful stuff.

    Steve .. Cloverdale BC .
