DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Sometimes the best music happens when a group of friends get together and discover that they’re mutual fans of the same artist. When that group of friends is Ted Leo on vocals, Brendan Canty from Fugazi on drums, Michael Hampton from Faith/Fake Names on guitar, and Sohrab Habibion from The Obits on bass then you know that the recording is going to be special, and when the inspiration is the early 70’s work of French-Canadian legend Michel Pagliaro then you can be certain that it’s going to be magical.
“Lovin’ You Ain’t Easy” is a power pop masterpiece, the kind of song that you would think was inspired by Big Star had the original not been released a full year before #1 Record. The flip, “We’re Dancin’” from an early Pagliaro side project called Second Helping, is a rocker, with a monstrous riff that is still bouncin’ off the walls of Montreal’s Forum some 50+ years after Pag first unleashed it on a hometown crowd.
Lovin’ You Ain’t Easy is the first 7” in a series of nuggets from the Foreign Correspondents, join them as they travel the world searching for lost classics!
