"Hell of a Night"
Song

"Hell of a Night" is a song recorded by American country music artist Dustin Lynch. It was released in November 2014 as the second single from his second studio album, Where It's At. The song was written by Zach Crowell, Adam Sanders and Jaron Boyer.

Critical reception

Giving it a "C", Jon Freeman of Country Weekly wrote that "Dustin Lynch offers this unnecessarily heavy and dirge-like song about having a good time that sounds more like the soundtrack to an angst-ridden teenager's lonely Friday night of video games and Mountain Dew. It also awkwardly equates a minor-key melody and hard guitar stabs with 'sexy'," while adding that the production had "interesting guitar effects" and that Lynch "pushes himself vocally."[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Michael Monaco and premiered in May 2015.[2]

The song has sold 295,000 copies in the US as of September 2015.[3]
