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.
