Every Man a King (album)

Every Man a King is the eighth solo studio album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne released on 5 May 2007.

On the album, Reyne rips into several of his pet hates and finds plenty going askew with the Australian character; showing contempt for celebrity culture, men who are 'chasing the chattering classes' and aspiring to be a part of the 'million balconies facing the sun' and John Howard and George W. Bush are written about in "Light in the Tunnel" and "Little Man You've Had a Busy Day.

[4] Tomas Mureika of All Music said "Reyne issues his most satisfying studio set since Design for Living (1999).

While not as strong an album as his early solo work, Every Man a King is a solid affair from an artist who continues to stay relevant nearly 30 years after Australian Crawl.

The title of the album comes from Huey Long and the record has a populist theme running through it.
