Whereabouts is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, released in 1999 on Interscope Records. [6] [7] The album was a nominee for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo at the 2000 Juno Awards. [8]
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "producers Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake do a wonderfully understated job of colorizing Sexsmith’s sad-kid melodies and voice." [1] The Washington Post wrote that the album "suggests the songs of a less clever Elvis Costello sung by David Byrne in his most earnest mode." [9] Rolling Stone called it "twelve near-perfect songs, the whole clocking in at under forty minutes." [4] Trouser Press wrote: "Carrying along such instrumental window dressing as banjo, strings, woodwinds and horns, it is overly languorous and stylistically diverse." [10] The New Yorker called the songs "either low-country laments or mid-tempo lullabies—minimalist heartbreakers all." [11]
