Say Goodnight to the World

Say Goodnight to the World is a solo album by the American singer and songwriter Dax Riggs, released in 2010.

Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle called the album "gritty punk-blues", writing that "[Riggs's] gothic-noir lullabies ... are carried by a voice that still conjures the ghost of Layne Staley." Spin wrote that Say Goodnight to the World "plops Sun Studios into the middle of Transylvania, with Riggs as a pensive, late-night Elvis." The Washington Post wrote that the album "may be [Riggs's] best ... a darkly psychedelic exorcism."
