Australian Crawl In 1978, he formed Australian Crawl with Simon Binks. Australian Crawl made one of the most memorable debuts on the popular music television program of the day Countdown, for the fact that James performed with both arms in plaster casts, a result of injuries sustained after being hit by a car. The band went on to sell more than 1 million albums in Australia in the 1980s, creating several memorable songs that still resonate within Australian culture and on Australian radio today (perhaps most notably "Errol", "Boys Light Up", "Downhearted", "Oh No Not You Again", "Unpublished Critics" and "Reckless"). After the band split up in 1986, James went on to a very successful solo career. Year 1978 (MCMLXXVIII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar). ...

Solo career In 1987, Reyne released his self titled debut solo album. After subsequently releasing the hit single "Motors Too Fast", the album was re-packaged with "Motors Too Fast" replacing the song "Coin in A Plate" which had appeared on the original version. His debut was followed, in 1989, by his next solo release Hard Reyne which featured the hits "House of Cards" and "One More River". 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". Singles off that album included "Slave", "Any Day Above Ground" and "Some People". 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, Jeff 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. 1994 saw the release of James' critically acclaimed fourth album - The Whiff Of Bedlam, recorded in Los Angeles with Stewart Levine and including the single "Red Light Avenue". This was followed in 1999 with Design For Living, which featured the sleeper gems "Reno", "Little Criminals" and "Stranger Than Fiction."
