Ron Sexsmith: Ron Sexsmith (Interscope)
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 7 September 1995
PROVOCATIVE INCONGRUITIES abound on this major-label debut. Sexsmith is a boyish 31-year-old artist from Toronto, a classic crooner in an era of tormented shriekers. He's also signed to a label dominated by the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Bush and Snoop Doggy Dogg. Maybe that's why he seems ambivalent about the essential loveliness of his own music.
