Hunger is the sixteenth studio album by the American folk singer/songwriter Janis Ian, released in 1997. It is the follow-up to her 1995 album, Revenge. Recording was held in various studios in the spring of 1997.[2] Production for the album was initially handled by an unnamed producer, but disagreements between Ian and the producer caused that producer to leave and Jeff Balding was brought in to finish production work.[2]
