Horizon is the sixth studio album by American country music artist Eddie Rabbitt. It was released in 1980 under the Elektra Records label. The album produced two singles, both of which reached number one on country charts. The lead-off single "Drivin' My Life Away" reached number 5 on the Billboard 100 and 9 the Adult Contemporary chart. The other single, "I Love a Rainy Night" reached number one on all three charts, the only single in Rabbitt's career to ever do so. In 2009, the album was released in CD format.
Horizon reached number one on country album charts and ultimately reached platinum status. AllMusic retrospectively gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and praised the tracks on side one for their "sun-inspired, guitar-based productions, heavy on the echo" but described the second side as being "a bit ballad-heavy." The review described the album as a "rockabilly release".
All tracks written by Eddie Rabbitt, David Malloy and Even Stevens, except where noted.
