Jeff Bridges will continue his media blitz in support of his new country rock album Jeff Bridges on tonight's episode of The Colbert Report. It's unclear whether or not the veteran actor will perform a song on the show – he may end up spending most of his time with Stephen Colbert chatting about The Big Lebowski, since he just reunited with the full cast of the movie in New York – but he'll definitely touch on his career in music. If you're dying to hear his play live, though, you can check out the set he performed here at the Rolling Stone office earlier this week.

Vanessa Carlton - Conan, TBS 11:00 p.m.

Jeff Bridges - The Colbert Report, Comedy Central 11:30 p.m.

The Band Perry - Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC 12:00 a.m.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
