I think the older I get, the clearer those memories become\u2014and the more precious,\u201d  Friday of this week he released his 18th album Hangover Terrace. It\u2019s a wonderfully complex album born during Ron\u2019s extended stay in the UK after his Sexsmith at Sixty tour. Recorded at London\u2019s Eastcote Studios with longtime producer Martin Terefe, the sessions marked a turning point\u2014ushering in a more introspective sound.  \u201cThis record speaks to the hangover I feel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around,\u201d   Gone is the gentle optimism of his recent work, The Vivian Line & Hermitage\u2014Hangover Terrace is marked by personal loss, shifting friendships, and emotional grit. Ron Sexsmith proves, once again, that no one captures life\u2019s quiet truths quite like he can. \u201cThe version of me that wrote those early records couldn\u2019t write these songs,\u201d he says. \u201cDon\u2019t give up. Stay focused on what\u2019s real.\u201d There was a celebration of Gordon Lightfoot and his songs at Massey Hall not too long ago. Missing was the biggest fan of Gord, Ron Sexsmith. Ron organized his own celebration for Gord at Hugh's Room in Toronto from Jan 31 to Feb 2. It was all Gord and each show was sold out.   For the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel, Ron lays the whole story out.  He also takes us through songs like  Easy for you to say "I wear my heart on my sleeve, where's you heart at? Cigarette and Cocktail "what comes for us, we can't outrun" Damn well please - "I've got one life, that's all I know"   Burgoyne Woods "up to no good in Burgoyne Woods. A band of misfits from the land of hosers." Must be something wrong with her "she says I'm lovely but the mirror says otherwise"   Ron Sexsmith  tour dates include Oct 31  Festival Place Sherwood Park Nov 1 The Grand Calgary Nov 4 The Winspear.  Sidney BC Nov 5 Parksville, Vancouver Island Nov 7 The Hollywood,   Vancouver.
