Canadian Ron Sexsmith, though never able to crack the pop-star ceiling in America, has managed to linger as a critics' darling and stay beloved among his peers since his 1995 debut. The boyish quiver so prominent in his voice during the middle '90s has matured on his eighth record, as Sexsmith reenlists his first producer, Mitchell Froom, to watch over his most introspective album to date. Never lacking for candid, hook-driven life observances, the Toronto native punches out melodies that could chill the spines of Ray Davies ("Ship of Fools"), Brian Wilson ("Snow Angel"), and Paul McCartney ("The Grim Trucker"), the latter juxtaposing an infectious chorus with pigs heading to the slaughterhouse. Like a balladeering novelist reading over complementary guitars and piano, Sexsmith carves out vignettes that can be as topically witty ("Jazz at the Bookstore") as they are hit-in-the-gut poignant ("Cold Hearted Wind"). It's an unabashed flair that makes his lacking listenership a mystery as Ron Sexsmith remains a pop music vanguard. --Scott Holter
