“No Easy Way Out” was written about my first divorce. It is an end of a relationship song. And yes it was the end. As far as the recording of it, Guy Marshall suggested we start with an intro and break in from there. It’s interesting in the fact the song has a double intro and gets away with it. The recording was special for many reasons. Great contributors on that song. Dann Huff, the very famous country producer/session guitarist, played guitar on it. Guy Marshall took an awesome solo. Pat Benatar’s drummer, Myron Grombacher. Great mix by Joe Chiccarelli. And of course a good vocal day for me. I remember feeling good about the vocal afterwards.
