Released in 1971, Kris Kristofferson’s The Silver Tongued Devil And I stands as a cornerstone of folk and country songwriting, weaving together raw storytelling and heartfelt melodies. Produced by Fred Foster at Monument’s Nashville studio, this sophomore album further cemented Kristofferson’s reputation as a poet of the human condition, marked by its honest reflections on love, pride, and vulnerability.
This edition of The Silver Tongued Devil And I captures the era’s spirit with evocative lyrics and memorable arrangements contributed by such talented musicians as Billy Swan, Norbert Putnam, and David Briggs. Included is a lyric sheet inner sleeve, allowing fans and collectors to immerse themselves in Kristofferson’s vivid songwriting—described in his own words as “echoes of the going-ups and the coming-downs, walking pneumonia and run-of-the-mill madness, colored with guilt, pride, and a vague sense of despair.”
