Nightrider is the sixth studio album by Charlie Daniels and the third as the Charlie Daniels Band, released on November 25, 1975.

Track listing[]

All songs composed by the bandleader, Charlie Daniels, except where indicated:

Side one[]

1. "Texas" - 3:04
2. "Willie Jones" - 3:14
3. "Franklin Limestone" (Tom Crain) - 5:40
4. "Evil" - 2:53

Side two[]

5. "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.
