Three-time Juno award winner Ron Sexsmith is at it again with the upcoming release of his newest workย The Last Rider,ย out April 21 via Compass Records.
This is Sexsmith’s 13th studio album and the first to be backed by his touring band.ย The Last Riderย is also Sexsmith’s first attempt at producing his own work, and he did so alongside drummer Don Kerr. Together they produced the 15-track album at The Bathhouse, The Tragically Hip’s studio in Kingston, Ontario.
