Take It Easy

Asylum, under Warner. The advice is calm. The verse is a man who will not choose.

Asylum released it. Warner holds Asylum. The chorus became advice for anxious people, and sometimes that advice is just: stop grinding. The verses are a man sampling a town. Do not take the verses as the cure for the grinding.

If you are actually exhausted, rest. If you are avoiding a choice, this is not rest.

A mood. Not a way to spend a year.

Live historicallyIf the house is frayed, rest tonight. If someone is using 'easy' to avoid a promise, name the promise.

Jailhouse Rock

RCA, under Sony. The beat is a gift. The joke is that the cage is fun.

RCA released it. Sony holds RCA. Elvis could sing a harder song, and sometimes did. This one is a warden's nightmare played for laughs, and the laughs won.

Keep it if you want the history of the voice. Do not let a child think the number is what a cage is.

A piece of the craft's history. Not a lesson about jail.

Live historicallyIf it plays, say it is a movie song, and that a real jail is not a party.
