Le bassiste de DEEP PURPLE  Roger Glover sortira son  nouvel album solo. «If Life Was Easy",   le 11 Juillet  en Europe via Earmusic / Edel.

Le successeur de "Snapshot" en 2002 aurait été enregistré en 2007. Il inclut sa fille Gillian, et au chant Ronnie Bramblett.

Commentaire de Roger: «Cette collection de titres révèle ou masque pas mal d'émotions pendant plus d'une décennie mouvementée, la séparation, le divorce, l'injustice, l'incertitude, un nouvel amour, l'évasion, la paternité, la grand -paternité, l'émigration, des tournées, la perte de ma mère sont quelques-uns des  les hauts et les bas durant cette période de tempête Tous ont été écrits là où je vivais - sur un MacPro avec ProTools et quelques instruments et gadgets - des musiciens  ont ajoutée leur partie en studio. Et donc le titre de l'album : « Si la vie était facile »- est une ironie subtile.

«Je suis très reconnaissant envers  mes collaborateurs:  Joe Bonadio - directeur musical, Randall Bramblett, Oz Noy, Nicky Moroch, Joe Mennonna et mes invités; Gillian Glover, Dan Cafferty, Pete Agnew, Walther Gallay, Mickey Lee Soule, Sahaj Ticotin, Sim Jones, Don Airey, Eliot Denenberg, Harvey Jones.
