Ron Sexsmith - Exit Strategy of the Soul
Rich in melodic and lyrical charms, Sexsmith songs have attracted interpreters in pop, Celtic and classical music. With this collection, the understated tunesmith could find his material covered by gospel and country artists. “Poor Helpless Dreams” has enough honky-tonk flavor to attract Nashville interest, while “Chased by Love” is a spiritual prison song that would’ve appealed to Johnny Cash. And Sexsmith’s piano instrumentals, one with stirring strings, sound like vintage parlour hymns or Stephen Foster ballads.
