They Only Come Out at Night

They Only Come Out at Night
The Edgar Winter Group
November 1972


This album is referenced in Stephen King's 1975 novel 'Salems Lot, so it is a undoubted touchstone of 1970s pop culture.

Although the tracks 'Frankenstein' and 'Free Ride' were successful singles, one of the best tracks on the album was the overlooked 'Autumn', written and performed by Dan Hartman (who would go on to have a big hit in 1984 with the song 'I Can Dream About You' from the movie Streets of Fire).

'Autumn' is a great 70s ballad, pure and simple.
