Ten albums in, JUNO Award-winning songwriter Justin Rutledge could easily rest on his reputation, having accumulated the sort of daunting body of work upon which one could easily coast.

Instead, on "Something Easy", Rutledge did the opposite by making things exceedingly difficult for himself, deciding to write, record, and produce the poised, subtly powerful set at home. With one, then two, bouncing baby boys underfoot, to boot.

The resulting album is a serene, stately thing of beauty.
