Ron Sexsmith’s facial features are increasingly resembling those of Angela Merkel. Perhaps he, too, is disappointed at how ungrateful the world is with his merits. The Canadian could do the same as the former Chancellor and retreat to an ivory tower with Schiller and Shakespeare. But he prefers to write one wonderful song cycle after another.
From the path into the green and the serpentines of love
“The Vivian Lane” is about escaping the big city and rural idyll, about the path to the countryside and the serpentines of love. And the name Sexsmith has always stood for the adventure of melody. Most beautiful here: the heavy-blooded folk-pop ballad “A Place Called Love”, the soulful “This, That, The Other Thing” and the Beatlesque stomper “A Barn Conversion”.
