Over the last 12 years, Bahrain-born, British singer/songwriter Frank Turner has built a rapport with his devoted audience. The bond between them is unbreakable and feels almost sacred. The double-length Songbook is an overview of the 2000s, and marks the anniversary of the arrival of his solo debut, Sleep Is for the Week. Far from his first compilation, one might wonder -- initially -- what separates this set from the various Three Years compilations or Ten for Ten. But this set offers a twist that makes it worthy of purchase for both longtime fans and newbies. With 29 tracks spread over two discs, it's almost too much of a good thing. Disc one is, for the most part, a proper remastered overview of highlights from the 2000s.
