"Rock n' Roll Nights" is a studio album by Canadian rock band BTO, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music). This album was one of three BTO albums that did not feature co-founder Randy Bachman. "Rock n' Roll Nights" is also one of the two albums from this band to feature Jim Clench, formerly of April Wine. This album generated world wide sales of about 250,000 copies. It is a rare find on CD, as it was released only for a short time on that format in 1990.

The band used multiple outside songwriters on "Rock n' Roll Nights", including Jim Vallance of Prism and Bryan Adams (who penned the song, "Wastin' Time"). C.F. Turner and Jim Clench would later appear as session musicians for Adams' debut album in 1980. [Bachman-Turner Overdrive biography at www.rockdetector.com] __NOTOC__
