''All by Myself'' is the debut solo studio album by the American multi-instrumentalist Rikk Agnew. It was originally released in October 1982, on the label Frontier.

Life", and "Falling Out" from this album for their debut album, '' Ancient Artifacts'', which was released in 1985. Critical reception In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett gave the album three and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Possessed of a good mid-range punk voice -- no sneering or bellowing, not really singing but not just talking over the songs either -- he creates the same basic rush he brought to his early stints in the Adolescents and the faster Christian Death songs he adworked on, but with a slightly poppier bent at points that perfectly balances sass and s ...

Takin' It Easy
''Takin' It Easy'' is the ninth studio album by Seals and Crofts, released in 1978 by Warner Bros. Records. It was their last album to contain any charting singles. "You're the Love" reached #18 in early 1978 and #8 in Canada. The title track reached #79 later the same year and #13 on the Canadian AC charts. The title track has a more rock-oriented approach than was the band's usual fare, and was essentially a James Seals solo track, with Dash Crofts making no contribution to either writing or performing it. Seals in turn was absent from the album's second track, "One More Time". The album in general relied more heavily on outside musicians and songwriters than Seals and Crofts's previous albums, with the duo writing barely half the songs themselves and only occasionally performing anything other than lead vocals. The cover photograph was taken at the historic Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana. Track listing #"Takin' It Easy" (Sean MacLeod, Bob Phillips) #"One More Time" (Lew ...
