Fast forward a decade and the pair are still buddies, so they decided to write a follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>As with the original,\u00a0<em>Buddies II: Still Buddies<\/em>\u00a0was written in just one day, although this time, however, Turner and Snodgrass had to do it over the Internet due to lockdown. With more time on their hands than usual, they were able to flesh out the album, musically, and recruit other buddies \u2013\u00a0<strong>Stephen Egerton<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>Descendents<\/strong>\/<strong>ALL<\/strong>) on drums and\u00a0<strong>Todd Beene<\/strong>\u00a0(Lucero,\u00a0Chuck Ragan,\u00a0Glossary) on pedal steel \u2013 for added instrumentation. The result is a funny, warm and at times poignant album that\u2019s part talk show, part music.<\/p>\n<p>Touching upon themes such as Jon having children, their travels across the U.S., name-checking other songwriter \u201cbuddies\u201d like they did on the original LP and more, the album is a charming and playful reflection on a friendship 10 years on. From the punk-turned-country of the album\u2019s lead single, \u201cBad Times Good Vibes\u201d to referencing George Carlin\u2019s infamous \u201cSaving The Planet\u201d on \u201cThe Fleas,\u201d\u00a0<em>Buddies II: Still Buddies<\/em>\u00a0also stands as the first album Turner has recorded, mixed and mastered entirely on his own.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frank-and-Jon-Press-Pic-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13821 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frank-and-Jon-Press-Pic-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frank-and-Jon-Press-Pic-1.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frank-and-Jon-Press-Pic-1-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLockdown has been such a blow to the music industry, and such a drag that we were all looking for things to do.
