Electric Digger Dandy is the third solo album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne released in 1991. The title of the American release was Any Day Above Ground; the album was not officially released in the United Kingdom and only available via import. The album saw James Reyne's return to a more electric sound. It features the singles "Slave" and "Any Day Above Ground", which have both become concert staples. It also features a new, acoustic rendition of the Australian Crawl song "Reckless." The album was produced by keyboarder Simon Hussey, who also co-wrote two tracks.
