If Ron Sexsmith had grown up listening to Paul Simon's GRACELAND, he might not sound dissimilar to Brett Dennen, who blends carefully constructed, poetic lyrics with sunny, funk/African-inflected grooves (Femi Kuti even turns up on one track). His third album finds him moving further into that groove, leaving a little of his former wordiness behind, and striking a nice balance between intellect and from-the-gut locomotion.
