Which of these country singers recorded the album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I"?
The album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I", the second studio album recorded by singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson, was produced by Fred Foster and released in July 1971 on Monument Records. This album followed Kristofferson's critically acclaimed debut album "Kristofferson" (1970).
"The Silver Tongued Devil and I" is mostly composed of self-written material by Kristofferson. This album met with critical success upon its release and unlike its predecessor, had commercial success. It became a top-thirty album on the "Billboard" Top LPs & Tapes chart and reached the top five of the Hot Country LPs chart. Its single, "Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)" charted on the "Billboard" Hot 100 at No. 26 and Easy Listening chart at No. 4. "The Silver Tongued Devil and I" was later certified gold.
Overall the album and the song explicitly are said to embody the contemplative value of youth and the mistakes made in the inevitability of fear and the fleeting fortune a young man may relish for sin and freedom. We are told that the ‘silver tongued devil’ is a metaphorical enterprise of the narrator himself; and that in irony, he is conscious of his own imperfections and the ironic unchangeability of his own self.
