Ron Sexsmith - Forever Endeavour

In a world of workaday singer-songwriters mixed in vacuous self-regard, news of a new Ron Sexsmith record can only gladden the heart of those who care about deftly poetic, gently affecting songs that perfectly distil the pitfalls of being human. The heart of FOREVER ENDEAVOUR is a batch of songs sparked by an unexpected health scare in the summer of 2011, and it's these tracks that give the album it's sorrowful gravitas.
