Roger Glover Returns With If Life Was Easy
. If Life Was Easy, by Roger Glover and the Guilty Party- produced by Glover and Peter Denenberg. Taken from snippets of ideas that the bassist had for years, the album is introspective, thought provoking and its 16 tracks are filled with experimental techniques both instrumentally, compositionally and vocally. Instrumentally, Glover plays the baglama on "Don't Look Now (Everything Has Changed)." He found the seven-stringed instrument�a cross between a lute and a sitar�in Istanbul. He's on fretless bass during "The Car Won't Start," a song inspired by the first music he ever loved, skiffle (a British take on folk music that most Brits of Glover's generation, including the Beatles, loved when they were kids). Still, the song comes out more ska than skiffle! Fellow Purple bandmate Don Airey plays his own personal pianet (a rare German electric piano only made from the '50s to the '70s) on "Stand Together."
