Ron Sexmith turned 47 years old this past January. His new album is aptly titled Long Player Late Bloomer. Wonder which songs will be covered by future artists? I took a stab at my four, with mp3’s below. The album’s country jangle wears thin, but the lyricism, when the focus, makes Sexmith’s instrumental choices more bearable. STANDOUT TRACK: “Get In Line” is a ballad largely written in A/B/A/B rhyme scheme, with a chorus tying it intogether. Sexmith still excels at cliché love songs with a twist of genius, as evidenced in the second two tracks. The –half title track is a right pick for certain.
Track 1. Get In Line
Track 6. Late Bloomer
Track 7. Heavenly
Track 9. Middle of Love
