Recorded in the intimacy of hotel rooms, after the usual triumph in front of thousands of people with Deep Purple, on the tour bus and - whenever possible - in “proper“ studios all over the world, “If Life is Easy“ is once again the proof of Roger Glover’s talent. As usual the production is impeccable, and the audio quality is stunning. Musically, the CD reflects the changes of moods and feelings expressed in the lyrics.

“If Life Was Easy“ could be described as a “rock record“, in the most classical sense, moving from blues rock to psychedelic moments (reminiscing of early Purple). The songwriting is on a high level, and the same goes for the playing and the finesse of the arrangements. Dan McCafferty and Pete Agnew from Nazareth are contributing to a song, as well as Mickey Lee Soule (ex Rainbow and Elf).

“This collection of songs reveals and obscures a range of emotions over a turbulent decade; separation, divorce, injustice, uncertainty, new love, escape, fatherhood, grandfatherhood, emigration, touring and losing my mother are some of the extreme highs and lows during this storm-tossed period. All were written wherever I was living, on a Mac and ProTools with a few instruments and gadgets – extra musicians were added in the studio as needed“.
