Bright Lights & Country Music

Bright Lights and Country Music is a studio album by American singer Rick Nelson. Released on May 30, 1966, it was his seventh for Decca Records and fourteenth overall. Covering country classics such as "Hello Walls", "Night Train to Memphis" and "Welcome to My Word", and "Louisiana Man", the album was considered a significant change in direction for Nelson from the rock and roll of previous albums. Jimmie Haskell arranged the album and Charles "Bud" Dant produced it. The album debuted on the Cashbox looking ahead albums chart in the issue dated June 25, 1966, and remained on the chart for two weeks, peaking at number 114. "You Just Can't Quit" was the first song he wrote himself and released since "Don't Leave Me This Way" on his second album. "You Just Can't Quit" bubbled under Billboard's Hot 100, reaching number 108, number 76 on the Cashbox singles chart, and number 24 in Canada. The album was released on compact disc by Ace Records on June 23, 1998, as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 13 through 24 consisting of Nelson's 1967 album, Country Fever. Bear Family included the album in the 2008 For You: The Decca Years box set.
