Stranger in the City was the 2nd solo album by John Miles and was released in 1977. It was awarded BPI Silver Certification on 19 July 1977.
Recording sessions with its producer and orchestral arranger Rupert Holmes started in the summer of 1976 in the United States when Miles was promoting his first album Rebel. The bulk of the album was recorded in England.
For this album, Miles recruited Australian keyboardist Gary Moberley because Miles felt that his previous album was missing something funky.
