Blue Boy

On Blue Boy, his fourth major recording, Ron Sexsmith brings more songs into this world, just melodies with words. The acclaimed singer-songwriter, whose work has been covered by everyone from Rod Stewart to opera singer Anne Sophie Van Otter, for the first time comes out of the box with an up tempo, punchy lead-off track, called 'This Song', signaling the listener to expect something a little different. 'It means more now to me now lyrically than it did when I wrote it,' says Ron of the country turned brassy-pop song. 14 tracks. This 2001 release was produced by Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy.

No, Ron Sexsmith hasn't gone country. Instead, this collaboration between the Canadian troubadour and Nashville's renegade production team of Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy pushes well beyond Earle's beloved twang. Supporting Sexsmith's tuneful lilt and bittersweet lyricism are arrangements emphasizing a jaunty horn section (the album-opening 'This Song'), chamber strings ('Miracle in Itself,' 'Fallen'), reggae rhythm ('Never Been Done'), Merseybeat jangle and harmony ('Don't Ask Why'), and even circus atmospherics ('Thumbelina Farewell'). On his most musically varied album to date, Sexsmith continues to merit comparison with artists who are rarely compared with each other--combining the wry vocal wobble of the Kinks' Ray Davies, the wispy delicacy of folksinger Tim Hardin, and the boyish pop of Harry Nilsson--reinforcing the impression that he's a singular singer-songwriter. --Don McLeese
