All American Alien Boy is the second studio album by Ian Hunter. Because of management issues, Mick Ronson did not appear on this album; instead, Hunter brought in keyboardist Chris Stainton to act as a balancing force in the studio. Unlike his previous album, the album didn't feature any of his trademark rockers and he opted for a more jazzy direction, featuring bassist Jaco Pastorius. The album title is a play on Rick Derringer's 1973 album All American Boy. Queen appear as backing vocalists on the track "You Nearly Did Me In".
