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."[2]
Reyne said; "If there's any theme to this album it's people being easily impressed. This silliness that they aspire to, the lives they read about in magazines. Their obsession with trash culture, the bizarre values we seem to live by. It's all just endlessly and perversely fascinating to me".[3]
The album was recorded at Hobby Horse Studios in St Kilda West and at Supersonic Studios in Scott Kingman's home studio.[4]
