WHAT THE PAPERS SAID ABOUT RON SEXSMITH’S 2020 ALBUM ‘HERMITAGE’
‘....more sweet McCartney-esque melodies….buoyed by intimate guitar and keyboard riffs that also recall prime Kinks, ballads of hope arise…timeless sing-song brilliance…” (UNCUT)
‘….very Macca and sometimes very Nilsson-like….the keen melodic impetus of an old-time stage musical… witness his lovely Curtis Mayfield-esque guitar curlicues…he and his songs sound beautifully close-knit.’ (MOJO)
‘…an anthem of hope for the future…The often melancholic singer-songwriter is surprisingly upbeat…the fun he’s having is infectious...’ (SUNDAY TIMES)
