Don’t be put off by the presence of Coldplay’s rent-a-bore Chris Martin. Or the fact that Ron Sexsmith has received previous big ups from a who’s who of evil in music – stand up Paul McCartney, Elton John and Rod Stewart.

‘Gold In Them Hills’ is a delicately executed premonition of better days ahead, which would seem a little far-fetched coming from the multi-million selling, Gwyneth Paltrow-shagging Martin. However, in an ideal world, this could prove to be a self-fulfilling signature tune for perennially overlooked Canadian Sexsmith.

Pianos gush like a graceful waterfall, and while it may be all a little too earnest for those of normal disposition, anybody unmoved by such cockle warming gems as “there’s gold in them hills/ so don’t lose heart” probably needs a defibrillator to the face.

Ron Sexsmith - Gold In Them Hills (featuring Chris Martin)

how dare you! Frist of all just to let you know I AM CANADIAN! Second of all i am major Coldplay fan. I am very affended by your comments. Just because Chris Martin has a girl friend you don't like doesn't mean that you can diss one of the hardest working and honest bands out there today. Ron Sexsmith has a great voice and i wish him the best of luck!
