Frank Turner's "Recovery" comes from Tape Deck Heart, his 2013 album, a song he wrote on his own and then handed to Rich Costey to shape. Costey did nearly everything else: he produced it, recorded it, mixed it and even picked up an electric guitar for it, with Eric Isip, Chris Kasych and David Schiffman engineering. The result is a rousing singalong in a bigger, glossier coat, all drive and hooks, with Turner's voice right up front where the choruses can do their work.
