Thirteen is the thirteenth solo album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne.

Reyne co-wrote tracks with producer Scott Kingman and Tim Henwood (from The Androids).

[2] Thirteen shares something with novelists such as John Cheever and Richard Ford, the notion that middle age, not youth, is when a person can make the most dangerous, destructive decisions in their life.

Reyne said, "There's a desperation that comes with middle age, and there are things that can go wrong.

I'm a big fan of Warren Zevon and Randy Newman, and they've always been frank in what they sang about while having fun with the phrases.
