The Devil Don’t Sleep Tracklist
The Devil Don’t Sleep has two versions. This is the regular version; known as the Red Album. There is a Deluxe Version that is also known as the Blue Album. It includes all of the songs listed here as well as 10 additional tracks. These additional songs include 5 previously unreleased demo tracks and 5 live recordings from Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado from a 2016 concert.
The Devil Don’t Sleep takes its title from one the tracks on the album (Track No. 14, to be specific). The phrase itself is a personal reminder to Gilbert.
“The Devil Don’t Sleep is all about knowing that the devil is always there, and there’s always temptation,” he explains. “It just keeps me on my toes, and it’s just kind of a constant reminder to me to move forward and keep my nose in the right direction.”
One of those temptations that Gilbert speaks of is alcohol. The artist has been sober for over five years — but as any addict knows, the desire never fully goes away.
“Decisions are always there to make, and The Devil Don’t Sleep, for me, [means] always just being aware that I am an addict,” Gilbert notes. “I’m a recovering addict, but I’ll always be an addict. Those temptations are there. There’s a lot of roads that go left.”
But when Gilbert is tempted, he leans on his wife, Amber Cochran, whom he wed in June of 2015, and on God.
“God has blessed me so much in this chapter of my life, and appreciating my marriage and that relationship that is so fulfilling to me. It’s my life. She’s my best friend. She’s the best player on our team,” he says. “I’ve always been a believer first above anything else. I feel like I’m like any other Christian. I think I’ve definitely strayed from time and time, and my relationship has not always been the best, but I think that’s always been a part of my music as well.”
