All Night Long

"All Night Long" is a song by Joe Walsh, the guitarist for the Eagles. It became one of Walsh's best charting singles. A live version of the song was included on the album Eagles Live (1980). It also appears in the soundtrack to the film Urban Cowboy (1980). Critical reception Billboard described the work of Joe Walsh as a "wailing through the rocker that has a subtle country rock flavor", praised the guitar and a vocal performance. Cash Box said that Walsh plays "red hot guitar" and there is "plenty of power packed into the gut-grabbing chording." Background Unlike the other tracks on the film's soundtrack, it does not have much to do with country music—despite its reference to chewing tobacco: "Keep a-grinning 'til the weekend comes / Just a pinch between your cheek and gum."
