If you're going to see Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Snow Patrol this fall on their latest North American swing, you may want to get to the venue early to catch Jake Bugg. Who the hell is Jake Bugg I hear you ask?
Jake Bugg is a singer/songwriter from Nottingham, England who play a no-nonsense brand of rhythm and blues inspired rock n' roll. One listen to his songs and you will most certainly hear more than a few tinges of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. But don't let that be the sole basis of judgement. After repeated listens to his first four singles 'Trouble Town', 'Country Song', 'Lightning Bolt' and 'Taste It', the most striking thing is how adept a lyricist Bugg is. Write about what you know they say and you can tell he is doing just that. Oh, and did I mention he's only eighteen and he's already played the Glastonbury Festival.
Below you'll find a couple of samplings of his style. Jake Bugg's debut album is scheduled for release on October 22nd via Mercury Records.
Thanks for reading!
