Take It Easy, Baby is Buckwheat Zydeco's second album, credited to his band at the time, Buckwheat Zydeco Ils Sont Partis Band. Ils Sont Partis is French for 'They're Off!', used by horse race announcers at the start of a race. Like his debut release, One for the Road, it was released on J.D. Miller's Blues Unlimited label in 1980. All of the tracks were written by Buckwheat Zydeco, credited to his birth name, Stanley Dural.
John Broven described Take It Easy, Baby as "a polished, more soul-oriented production" compared to Buckwheat Zydeco's previous album, One for the Road.
