Following up on his debut EP Campfire Punkrock, Bahrain-born, London-based acoustic singer/songwriter Frank Turner makes his full-length bow with 2007's Sleep is for the Week. Former leader of the political punks Million Dead, Turner's solo records are more along the lines of very early Billy Bragg: social-minded rants and more personal lyrics performed mostly on acoustic guitar with minimal accompaniment. Turner is not Bragg's equal as a wit: indeed, an almost painful earnestness permeates songs like "Father's Day," a standard-issue generation gap song culminating in the my-how-perceptive line "For better or for worse, I am turning into you." It's not all as wet as that, however: the rueful "Ladies of London Town" is a self-deprecating dating song, and "A Decent Cup of Tea" comes closest to Bragg's knack for short story-like lyrical detail. The album's twin highlights are "Once We Were Anarchists," a wry tune about the passions of youth colliding with the real world, and the simply charming "Back in the Day," a tune about hardcore punk's glory days, played on the banjo, that recalls the more recent, folky side of Half Man Half Biscuit. [A two-LP Tenth Anniversary Edition of Sleep Is for the Week was released in 2017, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and featuring the original album tracks on the first LP plus six demos on the second LP's first side and an FTHC logo etching on the flip. The set was packaged in a gatefold sleeve, and included a download code for digital content, including a complete live show from 2007.] ~ Stewart Mason
