Easy Money is the nineteenth studio album of country music artist John Anderson. It was released in 2007 under the Warner Bros. Records label, and was his first album for the label since 1986's Countrified. The album produced the singles: "If Her Lovin' Don't Kill Me" (previously a single in 2002 for Aaron Tippin from his album Stars & Stripes) and "A Woman Knows".
Easy Money peaked at 36 for country albums and reached 170 on the United States Billboard 200. Allmusic stated that Anderson pulled the album off "with ease" and that most of the album "feels natural and unforced." The reviewer stated that Anderson "hasn't made a record this good in years...at least [since] the early '90s, possibly the early '80s." The album was produced by John Rich of the duo Big & Rich.
