The Weeks recorded Easy over the course of two weeks at Memphis, TN's Ardent Studios with producer Paul Ebersold. The band left Nashville to record in order to disassociate themselves from their everyday routines in the city, and to find a halfway point between their two homes old and new, Mississippi and Nashville. "Memphis has always been the capitol of North Mississippi to us," says guitarist Sam Williams. "We went there to be at Ardent. We knew Paul had learned everything from John Frye and John Hammond so we figured that was the spot. It's important to keep those historic studios alive and not let them become museums." Of the record, frontman Cyle Barnes says, "We called it Easy because every time I make music with these guys, it's easy. It feels good. But the other side of it is there's nothing easy about being in a band. There's nothing easy about staying together for ten years and still wanting to make music. We have the hardest and easiest job on the planet. But it works for us."
