Album Review: Frank Turner - The Third Three Years

Carley Hall

The English folk-punkster’s strength has always been in his storytelling

More Frank Turner Frank Turner Profile

The English folk-punkster’s strength has always been in his storytelling rather than in his vocal chops, which is undeniably part of the his everyman charm.

This, his third in a series, again celebrates that fact by bursting with songs that make you reflect, enjoy and even feel warm and fuzzy inside with some festive tidings. Covers of Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Tom Petty are humbly done with no ego-filled attempts to make them his own, while rarities and live gems The Ballad Of Me And My Friends and Dan’s Song are poignant.
