 Shanda & the Howlers

It Ain't Easy

(Rum Bar Records)



Interest in this owes to the mixing of innocent, boy-girl pop ala the early 1960s with serious r&b musicianship that delivers the solid. Matters take a more somber turn when in come tales of rejection and the bleakness of love faded.

Recommended: "Miles and Miles," "Please Come Home," "Want You Anyway," "Used To Call Me Baby," "It Ain't Easy," "Whatcha Gonna Do Now," "Won't Be Back No More," "That Boy," "Walk Away,"  

Video: "Won't Take No" (Bopflix session)
