Billie Jo Spears - Easy To Be Evil

Review by Nicholas Haros Jr

Easy To Be Evil is a country album by Billie Jo Spears that was released in 1974. The album features ten tracks that showcase Spears' signature twang and storytelling abilities.

The album opens with the title track, "Easy To Be Evil," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a catchy tune with a playful melody that contrasts with the song's dark lyrics. Spears sings about the ease with which people can succumb to their wicked impulses, making it a relatable song for many listeners.

Other standout tracks on the album include "If You Want Me," "I'm Not Easy," and "It's A Heartache." The latter was written by Ronnie Scott and later became a hit for Bonnie Tyler. Spears' version is equally powerful, showcasing her vocal range and emotional depth.
