Frank Turner is one of my favorite live performers of all time. He has an energy that is contagious, and when he performs you can’t help but sing along even if you don’t know the words. He’s also an acclaimed songwriter and has made a name for himself over the last two decades releasing albums and touring the world. He’s buddies with Jon Snodgrass, and the two of them recently released a follow up to their 2010 album “Buddies” called “Buddies II.”

In a world of craziness, this album is an oasis. It’s funny, it sounds amazing, and it has a casual vibe that pulls you in, makes you laugh, and leaves you feeling better about the world. At least that was my experience with it.

I had a chance to chat with Frank about the recording of this album, and releasing it in the middle of a pandemic. We also talked about his long friendship with Jon, and some collaborations that may be coming up in the future. I hope ya dig it!
