Take It Easy Tree

It's part three (or maybe even four or more) of the Take It Easy series if you include the Slow Down series. And I guess also related is the Life Is Good compilation. All of them are good, but this pick is a bit more easy. It's titled Tree instead of Three, so it appears in the right order in your folder directories. Again, Too and Tree. So probably no fourth one, unless we come up with a way to say four and stay alphabetical. Anything goes for the pun.

Take It Easy Too

It's sort of the part two of the Take It Easy pick, but that is also part of another pick (see link at previous link) which is also related to Life Is Good pick. I did number this continuing from part one which is deceptively called Again. So it's confusing. Mostly songs about taking it easy, slowing down, making things simple, although the music is not as breezy as all that. I have another I will post later on, but I was ready to get this one up.

Take It Easy Again

A little while back I made the pick that I called Slow Down To Look which was started with the Eagles Take It Easy. I had so many that I parlayed into a few more picks. This is one of them. It has the Lemonheads covering that Eagles song and a bunch more easy kind of of songs. And also songs that are about Good Times and especially about drinking for free, because that implies a free and easy time as well. Fridays, drinks and lots of easing. Similar Flatbed Ford on the cover, so you know they are related. Jazz, reggae, electronic dance, country to rock. It's all about taking it easy.

Slow Down To Look

This was fun to make, but perhaps not as easy to explain. I had a couple of  songs to start out with. The Eagles, Rupert Holmes, Jimmy Buffet, Toby Keith were there. I didn't want to just have a music of getting drunk songs, but more of an I'm buzzed and happy, not doing anything especially important feeling. So John Cruz came about, Zac Brown, Bob Marley. Notice that the version I have from John Cruz is his original version, not the live one with Jack Johnson and Jackson Brown (I just like it better). I almost added Joe Walsh, but decided it would make a better pick with him tomorrow. A couple of the songs I almost didn't add, but did anyway. And one I almost forgot, but am really glad I added (Queen). Too perfect for this. The title is from the Eagles and the cover I put together has Winslow in the background, although the Truck is from a different state. I always feel like Penn and Teller in Fool Us when I write these things. Enough information, but sort of in code.
