For the recording of TIME BEING, Sexsmith had a creative reunion with producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Suzanne Vega, Paul McCartney). Froom has played a pivotal role in Sexsmith’s career, producing Ron’s first three major label albums and offering valuable advice ever since. For this release, Froom assembled some of L.A.’s best players to frame Sexsmith’s songs with subtle and sympathetic accompaniment. They include Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello’s longtime drummer and a previous Sexsmith sideman), bassist Davey Faragher (Costello, John Hiatt), and guitarist Val McCallum (Jackson Browne, Sheryl Crow), with Mitchell himself adding keyboards.
