In 1987, Reyne released his self titled debut solo album
. After subsequently releasing the hit single "Fall OF Rome", which reached #5 on the Australian charts, the album was re-packaged with "Motors Too Fast" (#6 Aria Charts) replacing the song "Coin in A Plate" which had appeared on the original version. Ultimately the debut album would spawn 6 hit singles, including "Hammerhead" (#8 Aria Charts), "Heaven On A Stick", "Rip It Up" and "Always The Way".
His debut was followed in May 1989 by his next solo release Hard Reyne
, which featured the hits "House of Cards" (#17 Aria Charts) and "One More River" (#22 Aria Charts). The album was produced By Simon Hussey. The project was launched with a live televised performance on Australia's MTV program on the Nine Network and an Australian Tour in late 1989. A further two singles; "Trouble In Paradise" (Oct 1989) and "Harvest Moon" (Jan 1990) completed the album.
In 1991 Electric Digger Dandy
was released. Mindful of the American market (where the album was released under the title of "Any Day Above Ground"), Electric Digger Dandy included a re-vamped version of the Australian Crawl hit "Reckless" as well as a cover of John Hiatt's "Stood Up" as well as a duet with American Blues legend Tony Joe White on the track "Stood Up". Single releases from the album included "Slave" (#10 Aria Charts), "Any Day Above Ground" and "Some People". It remains Reyne's biggest commercial release reaching #3 on the Australian Music Charts.
In 1992 he recorded a duet with country singer James Blundell
(a cover of the The Dingoes
song, Way Out West). It hit #2 on the Australian charts – still James' biggest solo single.
Later that year he joined former Sherbet
frontman Daryl Braithwaite
, Jef Scott and Simon Hussey to create the album Company of Strangers – an album that spawned four Top 100 singles. All three of these releases went platinum multiple times and contained several top 10 hits. These included Motor City (I Get Lost), Sweet Love, Daddy's Gonna Make You A Star and Baby You're A Rich Man.
October 1994 saw the release of James' critically acclaimed fourth album on the RooArt label – The Whiff Of Bedlam, recorded in Los Angeles with Stewart Levine
. The first single release was "Red Light Avenue" and followed by "Day In The Sun" (Dec 1994)and "It's Only Natural" (April 1995). James performed "Day In The Sun" on the Australian Music Awards held in Queensland in November 1994. James also toured the album across Australia in the summer of 1994.
Following on from a successful Australian Tour, James and his band continued overseas to Europe, UK and South America. Recorded live in South America, the double-album "Live In Rio" was released in May 1996. A single edit of "Oh No, Not You Again (live)" was released to co-incide with the album.
In late 1996 James took to the theatrical stage in David Atkin's hit musical "Little Shop Of Horrors".
James headed back into the studio in 1997 and worked with producer Ashley Caddell. Now signed to Village Roadshow Music, the first release was the pop-infused "Brand New Emperor's Clothes" in October 1997.
James continued to write and record new material throughout 1998/1999. Two more single releases "Not Waving, Drowning" and "Wonderful Day" (1998) were forthcoming.
This was followed in 1999 with the critically acclaimed Design For Living, which featured the sleeper gems "Reno", "Little Criminals" and "Stranger Than Fiction." Mostly recorded with friend and producer Scott Kingman at his studio in Melbourne. Experimental and bold, it remains Reyne's strongest effort, and popular with fans.
In 1999, he was one of many guest performers on John Farnham
's "I Can't Believe He's 50 Tour". His duet with Farnham, "Don't You Know It's Magic", can be heard on John Farnham's "Live At The Regent Theatre" album.
This was followed in 2005 by the album ...And The Horse You Rode In On, which contained acoustic reworkings of some of best-known solo and Australian Crawl compositions.
In late 2004, Australian dance producers Smash 'n' Grab remixed Australian Crawl
's "Reckless", and Reyne scored a minor dance hit with the song "She Don't Like That".
Reyne hosted Dig, a music show on ABC2
, and made an appearance on The AFL Footy Show
in Melbourne in 2006. However, Dig was removed from ABC2
's line-up due to budget cuts in 2007.
In May 2007, Reyne released a new studio album, Every Man a King, which features the singles "Light in the Tunnel" and "Little Man You've Had a Busy Day". Reyne said of the album; "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."
A second acoustic album, titled Ghost Ships, was released early October, 2007, taking Reyne's releases to four albums in four years – his most prolific period in recent times. This will be increased early in December when his first live DVD – James Reyne One Night in Melbourne, is released.
In April 2010 Reyne released, "TCB" (short for Taking Care of Business), a collection of Elvis Presley
covers, including "Viva Las Vegas", "Return To Sender" and "Burning Love". The album debuted at number 32 on the ARIA Albums chart
