Description: | The Vivian Line is the 17th album entry in Ron Sexsmith??s compelling discography, one matched by very few contemporary singer/songwriters.
His catalogue has earned him immense peer respect and a loyal international following, and this new release (out on Warner Music Canada/Cooking Vinyl in February 2023) captures Ron at the top of his creative game.
With one exception, these new songs all flowed from Sexsmith??s fertile musical and lyrical imagination in a short period of 2021 during covid. ??The songs came out of nowhere,? Ron explains. ??I wasn??t really writing after the [2020] release of my previous album, Hermitage. The older I get, the more I think ??maybe this is it,?? but then I found myself with new ideas again and got excited." - 2023 release, the 17th album from the Canadian singer/songwriter. The Vivian Line features 12 songs written and performed by Ron. "The Vivian Line is a rural route right near where we live in Stratford (Ontario). Whenever we have to get out of the city we jump on The Vivian Line and it dumps us out onto the highway. I wondered about the name when we first moved there and thought it was intriguing... it sort of represents escaping from our old life in Toronto to this new phase we're in. And it's also like a portal to my old life when I have to get back there. I recorded it (The Vivian Line) with Brad Jones in Nashville. (Brad played bass on three of my earlier records Other Songs, Whereabouts and Blue Boy), and it's a very lush-sounding, almost baroque pop record. (A distant cousin of Whereabouts.) The songs were mostly inspired by this stage in life that I find myself in and trying to figure it all out." |
