Album Notes & Community Reviews

On his third major-label release, Ron Sexsmith worked closely with producer Mitchell Froom to significantly expand his traditional singer-songwriter sound[cite: 1]. 'Whereabouts' adorns his highly melodic, frequently bittersweet folk-pop compositions with lush string arrangements, woodwinds, and remarkably polished pop-rock instrumentation[cite: 1].
