Description
Heaven Tonight is Cheap Trick’s third studio album, produced by Tom Werman and released in 1978. The album was remastered and released with bonus tracks on Sony’s Epic/Legacy imprint in 1998. The album cover features lead singer Robin Zander and bassist Tom Petersson on the front, with Rick Neilsen and Bun E. Carlos on the back.
Heaven Tonight is considered Cheap Trick’s best album by many fans and critics. While their debut album Cheap Trick showed the band’s darker, rawer side and In Color explored a lighter, more pop-oriented persona, Heaven Tonight combined both elements to produce a hook-filled pop-rock album with an attitude. Popular songs from this album include the anthemic “Surrender”, “Auf Wiedersehen”, the title track, and a cover of The Move’s “California Man”.
Heaven Tonight is also known as the first album ever recorded with a 12-string electric bass.
