    It Ain't Easy is really an excellent album, and I listen to it regularly. It's just that I think the track order is totally wrong. I always listen to the songs in this order:

    Mama Told Me Not to Come
    It Ain't Easy
    Woman
    Cowboy
    Your Song
    Rock & Roll Widow
    Out in the Country
    Good Time Living
    Good Feeling (1957)

    In my opinion, the album flows much better this way.
