Thirteen is the thirteenth solo album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne. (11 studio albums and 2 live albums). released on 16 March 2012. Reyne co-wrote tracks with producer Scott Kingman and Tim Henwood (from The Androids). The album covers a range of musical styles.[1]
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. The record is autobiographical - there's a song called "The Drone" that's written about me. It's a joke, but kind of true. 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."[3]
Reviewedit
Stack Records gave the album 4.5 out of 5, saying "Thirteen could have been a self-indulgent mess. Instead, it’s perhaps Reyne’s finest solo album and one of the year’s best." adding "[it] is the sound of an artist coming to terms with his past."[4]
