A new Ron Sexsmith original song ‘She Does My Heart Good’ will be made available as a free download from www.ronsexsmith.com from today 10th Dec ’12 at 3pm GMT (10am EST). The beautifully realised simple love song was one of the first to be written for Ron’s new Mitchell Froom produced album Forever Endeavour which is released on Feb 4, 2013 on Cooking Vinyl.
Says Ron: “It’s pretty much a straight-up love song about the wonderful effect another person can have on your mental state.”
Forever Endeavour is Ron’s 12th studio album and features another batch of deftly poetic, gently affecting songs that perfectly distil the pitfalls of being human.
Ron will play his biggest show to date when he headlines London’s Royal Albert Hall on 7th March ‘13.
Ron Sexsmith is from St Catharines Ontario, 20 minutes drive from Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. He has released 11 albums to date – Grand Opera Lane (1991), Ron Sexsmith (1995), Other Songs (1997), Whereabouts (1999), Blue Boy (2001), Cobblestone Runway (2002), Retriever (2004), Destination Unknown (2005, with Don Kerr, released as Sexsmith & Kerr), Time Being (2006), Exit Strategy Of The Soul (2008) and Long Player Late Bloomer (2011) – a body of work that very few songwriting recording artists, living or dead, can match for consistently sky-high quality. As legendary record producer to artists from Dylan to U2, Daniel Lanois, said in the Ron documentary Love Shines (2011): ”Not a lot of people have Ron’s gift: the ability to see a tiny snapshot of a feeling, then expand upon it and deliver a beautiful song. The songs are like Polaroids.”
Among the artists who have covered Ron’s songs are: Tracey Thorn, Rod Stewart, Michael Bublé, kd lang, Nick Lowe, Feist, The Brodsky Quartet, Curtis Stigers, Anne Sofie von Otter and Mary Black.
