British folk-punk Frank Turner has announced that he'll be releasing a new compilation of rarities and B-sides titled The Third Three Years, due out on November 25.
The collection logically follows The First Three Years and The Second Three Years, which all deliver demos, live renditions and acoustic versions of three year periods in the singer's career. The latest one will tackle the era that saw the release of 2013's Tape Deck Heart and its follow-up EP Polaroid Picture, as well as a stint performing at the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremonies.
In addition to reworked versions of his own songs, The Third Three Years will feature Turner covering tunes by artists like Queen, Tom Petty, Townes Van Zandt, Paul McCartney, Tony Sly, Bruce Springsteen and his Canadian favourites the Weakerthans.
There are even a few nods to Minnesota, with a live version of "The Ballad of Me and My Friends" from the Twin Cities and a track featuring the Hold Steady's former keyboardist Franz Nicolay.
