If anything, BLUE BOY is a marked progression for Sexsmith. Though it's produced by Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy, there's no evidence of Sexsmith \"going country\" here. Earle and Kennedy are perfectly attuned to Sexsmith's post-Beatles pop classicism. They merely highlight in a fresh, interesting way, as on the infectious opener \"This Song,\" where Sexsmith's reedy voice is brilliantly offset by a soul-powered horn section. Or \"Not Too Big,\" which adds a funky touch to the proceedings. Longtime fans needn't fear; their heroes fragile, transcendently melodic gift remains completely intact here, he's just picked up a couple of new steps along his journey.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45309694476575,"sku":"803057000128","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/3331c2a45d6e7b6b014a6217dc5e9b86.jpg?v=1777796404","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/blue-boy","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
