Head Like a Rock is a 1994 concept album[2] by Ian McNabb.[3] The album was nominated for the 1994 Mercury Music Prize and was McNabb's second solo album.[4] The album was recorded in Los Angeles with the backing band Crazy Horse. The album peaked at No. 29 on the official UK charts.[5]

Late in 2012, Ian revealed that his first three studio albums were to be re-released as 'expanded editions' and subsequently in early December, a listing for 'Head Like a Rock (Expanded edition)' was put on Amazon with a scheduled release date of 28 January 2013. The product description reading; "This expanded version has been re-mastered by Ian himself and is a testament to the great album it was, enhanced with upgraded packaging and a bonus disc of the B-sides that came with the assorted singles. This is a great addition to the canon of Ian's work"[6]
