Crazy Nights is the second studio album released by country music band Lonestar. Four singles were released from this album: "Come Cryin' to Me", "You Walked In", "Say When", and "Everything's Changed". "Come Cryin' to Me" reached number one on the Hot Country Songs charts. Also included is a cover of country rock band Pure Prairie League's single "Amie".

"Come Cryin' to Me" and "Say When" were both co-written by John Rich, who also sang lead on "John Doe on a John Deere" and "What Do We Do with the Rest of the Night". All the other tracks feature Richie McDonald on lead vocals. This was Lonestar's last album to have a neotraditional country sound before developing a more crossover-friendly country-pop sound. This was also Rich's last album as a member of the group. After departing the group in 1998, he began a solo career on BNA, and eventually joined Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich.

"Cheater's Road" was later recorded by Chalee Tennison on her 2003 album Parading in the Rain.

Thom Owens of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, saying that the singles and the "Amie" cover were "solid", but criticizing the other tracks for being "bland".
