"All Night Long" was the Joe Walsh single that rode the Urban Cowboy soundtrack in 1980, and the Eagles guitarist didn't bother with rhinestones: for all its talk of chewing tobacco, it has little to do with the country music around it. Walsh wrote, produced and sings it and plays guitar, with Paul Harris on keyboards, George Perry on bass and Joe Vitale on drums; Bill Szymczyk recorded it and Ed Mashal mixed.

The trade papers ate it up. Billboard heard a wailing rocker with a faint country-rock tint, and Cashbox raved about red-hot guitar and gut-grabbing chords. It entered the Hot 100 on May 11, a month ahead of the film, and climbed to 19 by July 20, making it one of Walsh's best-charting singles. A live take landed on Eagles Live that same year.
