Everybody's Rockin' is a 1983 album by Neil Young. The album was recorded with the Shocking Pinks (a band made up just for the occasion), and features a selection of rockabilly songs (both covers and original material.) Running less than a half of an hour, the music is unlike anything else in Young's career. However, Everybody's Rockin' is typical of his 1980s period in that it bares little (or no) resemblance to the album released before it (Trans (1983), a synth-heavy, electro-rock album), nor the one released after it (Old Ways (1985), which is pure country.)
