The Night's Too Long
This song came about when Loveless and her producer, Tony Brown, were in his office listening through some material for the upcoming album, and trying to find songs. Brown played this song by the writer Lucinda Williams. They liked what they heard and wound up going to hear Lucinda at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville that night. That's when they made the decision to record the song.
The song charted for 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #20 during the week of 8 December 1990.
