Nothin' but the Taillights is a 1997 (see 1997 in music) album by country 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.

"Still Holding On" is a sequel to "Cadillac Jack Favor" (off Black's Greatest Hits album), co-written with Matraca Berg and Marty Stuart and performed as a duet with Martina McBride.

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