California Nights is a successful mix of Sweet's shrill choruses with California AM country pop and featured second vocalist Steve Priest on lead vocals. Lyrics describe the typical West Coast paradise, the destination of many pilgrimages all over the States. Describing girls from Las Vegas and New York with a disco feel, though it does feature dated lyrics like 'Boogie through to mornin'. One of many gems on this fine album from Sweet, expect more posts about what I consider their most essential album.

Sweet (1978) California Nights
A breezy soft rock song during the band's later years, their peak of popularity may have been behind them but they were certainly at their musical peak. From their Level-headed (1978) album, it saw them experiment with Abba style Europop and duets (Lettre D'amour), country (Silverbird) as well as classical horns all over the tracks and funk on their top 10 comeback hit 'Love is like Oxygen'.
