Neil Young & The Shocking Pinks Concert History

In 1983 Neil Young proposed the album Old Ways to be released at Geffen Records. Geffen Records, who were already unhappy with the first album Young did for them, Trans, refused it 'cause it sounded 'too country'. They did however like the 'rockabilly' songs that were on the album and since some old rockabilly songs had made it back into the top 40 recently they asked Young to explore the genre a bit further. Young founded the Shockin' Pinks pretty much on the spot and recorded the album Everybody's Rockin' in one day.
