The Beat Generation's "It Ain't Easy" is a soulful, groove-filled release that reflects the continued musical vision of band director Lawrence White. This is a solo composition and recording by White, and it shows his lifelong love for R&B, blues, and groove-based classical music, as well as the benefit of years in the studio.
The song embodies the warmth and honesty that mark great rhythm-and-blues records. White's playing feels very much in touch with the traditions that inspired him, but the production keeps the track fresh and relevant. His ability to play all the instruments adds a wonderful cohesion to the recording.
The groove is steady and infectious, providing a natural momentum that makes the track move along easily. "It Ain't Easy" is its proof of artistic growth. White can elevate the material to a higher plane without losing its essence, approaching it with new knowledge and a different perspective.
