Distant Light is a 1971 album released by The Hollies, the last UK album by the band to feature lead vocalist and founding member Allan Clarke, until their 1974 self-titled album, reputably to be the first album to come out of A.I.R. studios. The album spawned two hit singles, the Allan Clarke penned "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," which peaked at U.S. #2 and UK #32, and the Tony Hicks penned "Long Dark Road" US #26. The US released version of the album peaked at US #21. The summer scene that is shown on the cover is duplicated exactly on the next Hollies album Romany, as a winter scene.
