Nightrider is the sixth studio album by Charlie Daniels and the third as the Charlie Daniels Band, released on November 25, 1975.
Track listing[edit]
All songs composed by the bandleader, Charlie Daniels, except where indicated:
Side one[edit]
- "Texas" - 3:04
- "Willie Jones" - 3:14
- "Franklin Limestone" (Tom Crain) - 5:40
- "Evil" - 2:53
- "Everything Is Kinda All Right" - 5:11
Side two[edit]
- "Funky Junky" - 5:06
- "Birmingham Blues" - 4:43
- "Damn Good Cowboy" - 4:35
- "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" - 3:31
There has been some confusion with the credits for the song "Birmingham Blues" that Charlie Daniels wrote for this 1975 album. In 1977, Jeff Lynne also wrote a song called "Birmingham Blues" for his band, Electric Light Orchestra's album, Out of the Blue, and now Allmusic shows the 1975 Charlie Daniels song as being co-written by Lynne[2] (but not the other way around), which is nonsensical.
