Best Albums of 2011: Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones


Frank Turner is british folk-punk singer and England Keep My Bones if his fourth studio record. He released it on June 6 this year and since its release Frank Turner has been busy guy. He toured a lot and more and more people start liking him because this record is just awesome.

Turner's sound is based on acoustic guitar, but that doesn't mean his music doesn't have balls. He makes catchy, fast, easy-to-remember tracks and I gotta say that this record doesn't feature bad song. His lyrics are also great. For example chorus of second track of the album called "Peggy Sang The Blues" is great and very inspiring:

"It doesn’t matter where you come from
It matters where you go
No one gets remembered
For the things they didn't do"
Most of his songs are like this - powerful and inspiring. I don't know this artist for a long time, but he has quickly become my favorite one.

Happy New Year!
