"'Cool & Easy' is so many things," said Sammy Johnson.

As easy as it would have been for me to reflect on that, I felt so strongly to consciously create something that would provide a place of refuge, peace, love and happiness. I'm so proud of this album and I pray that you receive it with all the love and good vibes it's wrapped up in."
