Nothin' but the Taillights is the seventh studio album by American country music singer Clint Black. Black co-wrote many of the songs with others and played much of the guitar himself for this album.

"Something That We Do", "Nothin' but the Taillights", and "The Shoes You're Wearing" were hit singles. The latter two of those three songs reached #1. The album is currently certified platinum by the RIAA.

"Still Holding On" was co-written with Matraca Berg and Marty Stuart and performed as a duet with Martina McBride. This song was also included on McBride's Evolution album, also released in 1997.

"Ode To Chet" is an ode to guitar player Chet Atkins and features Steve Wariner, Larry Carlton, Dann Huff, Hayden Nicholas, Mark Knopfler, and Atkins and Black themselves on guitar.
