The Eagles – Take it Easy (1972). The very essence of the laidback country rock sound that dominated FM radio in the Seventies. Listening to Take it Easy now, with its evocative lyrics and carefree open road message, it’s striking how it recalls simpler times for the Eagles and their fans before the fame, the drugs and the egos overtook them. The Doobie Brothers – Listen to the Music (1972). The breakout song from the eponymous album that signalled Fleetwood Mac’s remarkable change of direction and fortune, as they dramatically transformed themselves from British blues also-rans into the epitome of slick, airbrushed California soft rock. Rhiannon is the classic Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac song, a live tour de force and showcase for her alluring and siren-like vocals.
This album paved the way for a newborn music, Rocksteady, with a rather slower and tighter rhythm approach. This album should be considered as one of the ten most important albums in Reggae history. The descent from Ska, which had its derivation from Jazz or Rhythm and Blues, to Rocksteady, with its various potential elements which would be passed to the next decade of Reggae, has been allegedly created in this album with Trinidadian guitarist Lynn Taitt and his band The Jets as the backing band
Well, I'm running down the road Tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on My mind. Four that wanna own me Two that wanna stone me One says she's a friend of mine. Take It easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels Drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can Don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand And take it easy. Take it easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own Wheels make you crazy Come on baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is Gonna save me, oh oh oh Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy. Take It Easy is a song written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey!
From a whisper, the sound of an organ builds up like a spiritual beacon being unveiled. It’s well over a minute before the Edge’s churning guitar and Adam Clayton’s propulsive bassline kick in, and another 40 seconds before Bono’s vocals touch down. If there’s one quality that characterizes Arcade Fire’s sound, it’s urgency-and nowhere is that more evident than on Keep the Car Running from the band’s super noire, grandiose 2007 Neon Bible album. Based on singer Win Butler’s childhood nightmares ( Men are coming to take me away! he pines), Keep the Car Running expands these fears into a sense of global anxiety, and the certainty that there must be something better down the road ( Don’t know why, but I know I can’t stay ).
California desperately needs a new sheet of lyrics. Lead single Bored to Death reverts to elementary wording: I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down/ I said I’m sorry I’m a bit of a let-down/ But all my friends are daring me to come over/ So I come over. Of course, both of those albums beat California by a mile, but California fits there sonically because it clings to the weakest parts of those records. Don’t let props fall to waste there, though.
