"Small Town Saturday Night" is a song written by Pat Alger and Hank DeVito, and recorded by American country music artist Hal Ketchum. It was released in April 1991 as the first single from his debut album Past the Point of Rescue. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in August 1991.[1]
The song is an uptempo that describes what occurs on a Saturday night in a small town. The song was inspired by the city of New Braunfels, Texas.
Ketchum's first music video was directed by Senor McGuire, and premiered on CMT on April 20, 1991. It was filmed in black-and-white, and shows the singer in a forest, singing beneath a screen showing footage from the 1938 movie The Terror of Tiny Town. In the end, a horse dances with the singer.
