Man from Reno (song)

"Man from Reno" is a song written by musician and composer Goran Bregović with lyrics by American singer-songwriter Scott Walker in 1993. The song was recorded and released by Bregović and Walker for the 1993 French comedy film Toxic Affair, directed by Philoméne Esposito. Bregović composed the rest of the film's score. A stylised sepia-toned music video was produced for the single. The single is Walker's seventh and most recent solo single.

"Man from Reno" shares lyrical elements with "Farmer in the City" from Walker's 1995 album Tilt,^[2] and musical elements with "Ipak poželim neko pismo" from Bregović's former band Bijelo Dugme 1979 album Bitanga i princeza.

"Man from Reno" is also notable as it is only the fourth A-side written by Walker. To date only Walker has only written four singles, the others being; "Deadlier Than the Male" (1966), "The Electrician" (1978) and "Track Three" (1984). The single was backed with a second song written and recorded with Bregović; "Indecent Sacrifice". The obscure songs have since been released on compilations of Walker's and Bregović's work, notably Songbook and Scott Walker in 5 Easy Pieces.
