Suburban Songbook is the second release by the Australian singer Bob Evans, real name Kevin Mitchell, vocalist/guitarist for Perth band Jebediah. The album was produced by Nashville-based Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Yo La Tengo, Sheryl Crow, Jill Sobule) at the 'Alex the Great Studios' in Nashville.
“I wanted to really push the idea and feeling of turning the `Suburban Everyday’ into something of almost fairytale quality,” Mitchell explains. “Of romanticism. That magic can happen in the suburbs every single day. Almost like making a record where within the stories it’s like everything’s happening on Christmas morning.

At the 2006 ARIA Awards the album won the "Best Adult Contemporary Album" and it has also been nominated for a J Award by Triple J. Bob Evans was also nominated for an Australian Music Prize for the album. The album debuted at #15 on the ARIA album charts.
The first single released off the album was "Don't You Think It's Time"...
