Introduction
While the smooth vocals of Alan Jackson brought “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” to a new generation in 1999 on his album “Under the Influence,” the song’s roots go back a bit further. Country legend Charley Pride first brought the tune to life in 1971, and it quickly became a chart-topping hit propelling him to even greater stardom.
The song itself is a delightful exploration of marital bliss. The narrator encounters old friends who marvel at his constant happiness. He shares his secret: a loving wife he gets to “kiss an angel good mornin'” and “love her like the devil when [he gets] back home.” This playful contrast between the angelic and the passionate paints a picture of a well-rounded, fulfilling love.
“Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” isn’t just about the lyrics though. It features a toe-tapping melody and a classic country arrangement that perfectly complements the themes of love and domesticity. The song’s enduring popularity is a testament to its ability to capture the simple joys of a loving relationship.
So, put on your favorite boots, grab your sweetheart, and get ready to smile along as we revisit this country classic, “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’.”
