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.
