Friday Night in America is a studio album by progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival, released in 1989.[2] The album includes the single "Callin' Baton Rouge", the band's only Top 40 hit on Hot Country Songs. Both it and "Do What You Gotta Do" were later released as singles by Garth Brooks: the former in 1993 from his album In Pieces, and the latter in 2000 from his album Sevens. The band promoted the album by touring with Emmylou Harris.[3]
