Eddy Arnold - Loving Her Was Easier '1971

Tracks list

Eddy Arnold was a few years past his last major country hit when he made Loving
Her Was Easier. The light country-folk sound was probably influenced by the
contemporaneous success of artists like John Denver and James Taylor. In fact,
Denvers Take Me Home, Country Roads is covered, as are big hits such as Ruby,
Dont Take Your Love to Town and Freddie Harts Easy Loving, both of which fit
well with the tone of the album, even if the performances are lackluster. A
tepid run-through of Jackie DeShannons Put a Little Love in Your Heart is
included for Arnolds least-discerning pop fans. I Love You Dear was a minor hit
and the only charting single from the album. A year or so after Loving Her Was
Easier, Arnolds sagging sales resulted in his parting ways with RCA after nearly
30 years with the company.
