Lone Arranger is the second solo album by South African keyboardist Manfred Mann. [1] Like its predecessor, 2006, it features various guest musicians, including Kris Kristofferson, Till Brönner and Mick Rogers. It also includes three songs by other artists which sampled Manfred Mann recordings, over which Mann then added new keyboards and other contributions: "One Hand in the Air" is a shortened version of Kanye West's " So Appalled" (which sampled " You Are, I Am"), with an added chorus by Caitlyn Scarlett. "I Came For You" is the Disco Boys remix, slightly shortened and with new synth solos added. Likewise, "One Way Stand-Up" is The Prodigy's " Stand Up", which was based on Manfred Mann Chapter Three's " One Way Glass", with added keyboards.

The album was released in Europe on 17 October 2014 and in the UK on 20 October [2] on CD and double vinyl; a deluxe version with a bonus disc of out-takes and extras was also released. [3]

One of the bonus tracks called "Boots" includes elements of an earlier song that was released by Manfred Mann as an mp3 download but then withdrawn because the song's original writers withdrew their consent (the song had used the structure and chorus of the Eels song " To Lick Your Boots"). At the time Mann's "(Lick Your) Boots" was released, the upcoming album was still announced as "Rational Anthems" before the title was changed to "Lone Arranger".
