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
5. "Everything Is Kinda All Right" - 5:11

2. "Birmingham Blues" - 4:43

4. "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.
