Easy is the fifth album by Kelly Willis. The music is a little bit more "country" than its immediate predecessor What I Deserve, but less rousing than on her first three albums with MCA Records. This album evokes Willis' contentment with her new life by presenting songs that had a contented, mellow vibe.
