Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: ‘Easy’ Songs

Electric Flag, Groovin' is Easy

Eagles, Take it Easy.  A great road song. This one goes out to Kathy H. who objected to these lines:

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flat bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me.

Eagles, Peaceful Easy Feeling

The Essex, Easier Said Done

Linda Ronstadt, It's So Easy. The old Buddy Holly tune.

Marty Robbins, Am I That Easy to Forget?  A country classic. Here is George Jones' version.

Byrds, The Ballad of Easy Rider

Frank Sinatra, Nice 'n' Easy

Ringo Starr, It Don't Come Easy

And that just scratches the surface.  My main principle of selection?  I have to like the song.
