A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'N'

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “N,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so you might not think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “N,” like “New,” “No,” “Night,” and “Need,” all of which sound like they’d make great song titles.

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “N,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you haven’t tried before, you might discover some new favorites.

Need All My FriendsLynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd, the iconic standard-bearers of Southern rock with roots in blues and country, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

Unlike their later, wilder image, this track is strikingly delicate and melodic, and it really resonates.

The pure, earnest longing for companionship comes through directly in the emotional vocals of a young Ronnie Van Zant.

Recorded in May 1969, only about 300 copies were pressed at the time, making it a rare release that was later included on the compilation album Collectybles.

Rough around the edges yet filled with a wistful mood that hints at the masterpieces to come, this song is perfect for when you want to reconnect with the band’s roots.

Not Fade AwayRush

This is the debut single from the very early days of Canadian rock band Rush.

It’s brimming with a raw energy that’s a bit different from the image they later earned as masters of progressive rock.

The track is a cover of the Buddy Holly and the Crickets classic, delivering a passionate message: “My love is real and it will never fade.” The highlight is how they elevate the original rock ’n’ roll into hard rock with heavily distorted guitars and tight three-piece playing.

Released exclusively in Canada in September 1973, it wasn’t included on their debut album, Rush.

It’s a perfect song for when you want to bask in the youthful impulse and heat of ’70s rock.
