...listener finds a good example in the opening cut on side one, a 1958 Buddy Holly number called "It's So Easy." Played in a straight-forward rhythm-and-blues style, the accent here, as on every other cut, is on Linda. She belts this one out with true style, growling and cooing over the notes in a fine evocation of the early days of rock.

...today, Luscomb does not reveal the passionate depth of her convictions all at once. She talks slowly, with the measured rhythm and varied tone of the practiced public speaker but she never talks at you. Indeed, you might be deceived, on first meeting her, into imagining that this charming old lady was taking it easy after adventures such as her 1962 trip to the World Disarmament Congress in Moscow. But the deception is short-lived. She says her time is more her own now but she still gives lectures about the history of the women's movement, her journeys...
