"'Man from Reno'" is a song written by musician and composer Goran Bregovi with lyrics by American singer-songwriter Scott Walker in 1993. The song was recorded and released by Bregovi and Walker for the 1993 French comedy film 'Toxic Affair', directed by Philomne Esposito. Bregovi composed the rest of the film's score. A stylised sepia-toned music video was produced for the single. The single was Walker's seventh and last solo single.
"Man from Reno" shares lyrical elements with "Farmer in the City" from Walker's 1995 album 'Tilt', and musical elements with "Ipak poelim neko pismo" from Bregovi'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 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 Bregovi; "Indecent Sacrifice". The obscure songs have since been released on compilations of Walker's and Bregovi's work, notably 'Songbook' and 'Scott Walker in 5 Easy Pieces'.
