He has built a steadfast reputation with critics and some of his songwriting heroes (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Ray Davies, John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Costello, Chris Martin to name just a few) for his characteristically honest, sensitive and enduring approach to the songwriter craft which over the years has evolved into a unique and timeless blend of classic pop, contemporary folk and roots-rock idioms.
My last few albums actually had a feeling of rural contentment, “Hangover Terrace” feels more wounded to me. There’s some self-examination going on and a desire to know who my real friends are. It also deals with the passing of time and how many more things become dear – Ron Sexsmith
Cooking Vinyl released Sexsmith’s new album “Hangover Terrace,” August 29, 2025. The album title is a play on Hanover Terrace, the name of which tickled the fancy of Sexsmith’s drummer Don Kerr. He labelled it “Hangover Terrace”- “a lightbulb moment” for Sexsmith who snagged it for the title. The record produced by Martin Terefe includes 14 songs, marks a departure from his recent work.
