Post Description

Eerste album van Ron Sexsmith.

The Canadian singer, born in Ontario on January 8, 1964, started out working as a messenger in his hometown of Toronto before breaking into the music business. In 1991 he produced his first recorded work under the name Ron Sexsmith and the Uncool, a self-released cassette titled Grand Opera Lane. Ira A. Robbins in the Trouser Press Guide to '90s Rock characterized the tape as "a concerted effort to gumbo up syncopated rhythms and spark up what could fairly be described as a small-scale northern John Hiatt vibe." Nevertheless, Sexsmith's tape managed to provide ample evidence of the musical quality that was to come.
