Roger Glover - If Life Was Easy (2011)

If Life Was Easy is the fifth solo album by Deep Purple's bass player Roger Glover. It will be published by earMusic/edel on July 11, 2011. The album was recorded in 2007 but due to personal reasons it wasn't released until now. Like its predecessor, Snapshot (2002), it features The Guilty Party which includes Randall Bramblett and Gillian Glover. Guest appearances are from Nazareth's Dan McCafferty and Pete Agnew as well as Walther Galley and Sahaj Ticotin.
