Night Life is the fourth album by guitarist Billy Butler which was recorded in late 1970 and released on the Prestige label the following year.[1] The album was released on CD combined with Butler's debut album This Is Billy Butler! as Billy Butler: Legends of Acid Jazz in 1998 but, confusingly, was not part the CD release also titled Night Life which compiled Butler's other two albums for Prestige Guitar Soul! and Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.
Allmusic awarded the compilation album 4½ stars stating "Butler was a versatile musician who, on ballads in particular displayed a very interesting sound, sometimes sliding between notes as if he were playing a steel guitar".[2]
