Ron Sexsmith - She Does My Heart Good

Ron Sexsmith is a Canadian singer-songwriter who formed his own band at just 14 years of age and released his own recordings of his songs just 7 years later.  He set his sights high and wanted to be like his heroes - Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Ray Davies and John Hiatt.  In fact he has managed to win praise from all these celebrities and more, so he should be very pleased with himself.

But Ron is still disappointed that he has not reached the dizzy heights of his heroes.  He does not want to be compared to the likes of Nick Drake and Tim Hardin (as he often is) because, he says, they didn't have much success in their lives.  In 2010, a documentary film appeared called Love Shines which chronicled Ron's attempts to turn his niche following into mainstream success.  But he still remains a musician's musician and it's difficult to see why that might be.

On February 4th, Ron will release Forever Endeavor, his 13th album.  Will it be lucky for him?  One hopes so, because if the track, She Does My Heart Good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bBsuU5Gwwc  is anything to go by, he has lost none of his skill at writing great little earworms. 

You can get this track free by the way by heading over to Ron's website and joining his mailing list.  You can also pre-order his album there too.
