I'll Sing You a Song and Harmonize Too is the debut studio album by American country artist Skeeter Davis. The album was released in November 1959 by RCA Victor and was produced by Chet Atkins. It signified Davis' first solo album ever released after departing from the duo, The Davis Sisters.
I'll Sing You a Song and Harmonize Too was recorded in three recording sessions at the RCA Victor studio in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The first session took place in May 1958, followed by January 30, 1959, and then ending in September 1959. The album took its name from Chet Atkins' idea of harmonizing Davis' vocals with herself. Atkins used this technique because Davis' vocals were not suited to singing lead vocals, as she had previously sung harmony as part of The Davis Sisters. By using the technique of harmonizing with herself, it gave her voice a fuller sound and production. The debut record contained twelve tracks of material. Besides a selected amount of new songs ("Am I That Easy to Forget", "Set Him Free", "Have You Seen This Man", and "Devil's Doll") the rest of the album contained cover versions of songs. It included cover versions of Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart", Jan Howard's "The One You Slip Around With", and Buck Owens' "Under Your Spell Again". It also included a solo version of The Davis Sisters' 1953 hit, "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know".
The album was originally released as an LP album with six songs on each side of the record.Allmusic rated the album and gave it four out of five stars, without an official written review provided.
