Rave On!! is the third studio album released by the Southern American country rock band The Kentucky Headhunters. It was the first album recorded after the departure of brothers Ricky Lee Phelps and Doug Phelps, whose positions were replaced with lead vocalist Mark S. Orr and bass guitarist Anthony Kenney (who is the cousin of brothers Fred and Richard Young). The album produced three singles: "Honky Tonk Walkin'", "Blue Moon of Kentucky", and "Dixie Fried".
Three covers are included: "Dixie Fried" (originally by Carl Perkins), "My Gal" (originally by The Lovin' Spoonful), and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (originally by Bill Monroe).
The album was reissued in December 2006 by CBUJ.
