Anything Can Happen is an album by singer and songwriter Leon Russell, his first following a ten-year break after the release of his last studio album Solid State. The album was released in 1992 and produced by Russell along with Bruce Hornsby with most of the songs written by the two. The album was released by Virgin in the UK and US.[1][2][3]

People magazine reviewed the album: "From the marvelous shadows-and-light pop of the title track to the Turkish-ish 'Black Halos' to inventive reworkings of Chuck Berry’s 'Too Much Monkey Business' and 'Jezebel', this comely comeback is smooth but packs a kick".[4]

On July 21, 1992, Russell performed "Anything Can Happen" live on Late Night with David Letterman.[5]
