Take It Easy Song Facts Take It Easy was written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey and most famously recorded by the group Eagles with Frey singing lead vocals. Take It Easy was Eagles’ first single, released on May 1, 1972, and also was the opening track on the Eagles debut album. Take It Easy has become one of the signature songs by Eagles. Jackson Browne started writing Take It Easy for his first album, but he didn’t know how to finish it. At the time, he was living in an apartment in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles, and his upstairs neighbor was Glenn Frey, who needed songs for his new band - Eagles. Frey heard Browne working on Take It Easy and told Jackson that he thought it was great. Browne turned Take It Easy over to Frey, who finished writing it and recorded it with the Eagles. Frey says that Browne did most of the work on Take It Easy and was very generous in sharing the writing credit. Frey came up with a key ’Take It Easy’ lyric: ’It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me.’, and stretching out the ’E’ in ’Easy.’ Frey stated Take It Easy represented ’America’s first image of our band [Eagles] with the vistas of the Southwest and the beginnings of what became Country-Rock.’ Easy Strum Guitar Songs Playlist Take It Easy by Eagles Easy Strum Guitar Lesson for Beginners
