Our guest this week is songwriter, storyteller and singer with a one-of-a-kind voice, Ron Sexsmith.

I think the older I get, the clearer those memories become—and the more precious,”

Friday of this week, he released his 18th album, Hangover Terrace.

It’s a wonderfully complex album born during Ron’s extended stay in the UK after his Sexsmith at Sixty tour. Recorded at London’s Eastcote Studios with longtime producer Martin Terefe, the sessions marked a turning point—ushering in a more introspective sound.

“This record speaks to the hangover I feel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around,”

Gone is the gentle optimism of his recent work, The Vivian Line & Hermitage—Hangover Terrace is marked by personal loss, shifting friendships, and emotional grit.

Ron Sexsmith proves, once again, that no one captures life’s quiet truths quite like he can. “The version of me that wrote those early records couldn’t write these songs,” he says. “Don’t give up. Stay focused on what’s real.”

There was a celebration of Gordon Lightfoot and his songs at Massey Hall not too long ago. Missing was the biggest fan of Gord, Ron Sexsmith.
Ron organized his own celebration for Gord at Hugh’s Room in Toronto from Jan 31 to Feb 2. It was all Gord, and each show was sold out.   For the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel, Ron lays the whole story out. 
He also takes us through songs like:
Easy for you to say “I wear my heart on my sleeve, where’s you heart at?
Cigarette and Cocktail “what comes for us, we can’t outrun”
Damn well please – “I’ve got one life, that’s all I know”  
Burgoyne Woods “up to no good in Burgoyne Woods. A band of misfits from the land of hosers.”
Must be something wrong with her “she says I’m lovely but the mirror says otherwise.”
