A Thousand Suns is a studio album by Australian singer songwriter Russell Morris. It was released in November 1991 and is his first album on the ARIA Chart, at number 98. Four singles were released from the album, including a remix of Morris' 1969 number-one single, "The Real Thing".
Bevan Hannan of The Canberra Times described A Thousand Suns, "[he is] writing prodigiously with aim of launching a revival... [it] is in the damage control category – you can slip it into your stereo and play in the background without offending any tastes."[2] Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane observed, "During the early 1990s there was something of a [Morris] revival... [he] issued a new album... [which] boasted a contemporary studio sheen and featured guest musicians."[3]
