19 year old English singer songwriter, Jake Bugg has finally released his sensational self-titled album to the States.
I work at my college's radio station so I get mailed a ton of LPs and EPs every week. A couple months ago I received Jake Bugg's EP Two Fingers and I fell in love!
With his unique Bob Dylan-esq voice and sound, he is exactly the refreshing artist that the folk scene has been searching for.
The album is comprised of upbeat numbers like "Lightning Bolt" that bleed into the well crafted lyrics of "Trouble Town". While songs like "Simple As This" and "Country Song" can lul one to sleep.
Bugg has his share of love songs ("Someplace") and also one's simply about goofing around, being a kid ("Two Fingers", "Seen It All").
This week his single "Lightning Bolt" is for free at the iTunes store! Please go download it!
To get a taste of his music and get to know him a bit more, he has a bunch of music videos out on his YouTube channel.
Also check his Spotify for the full album, commentary on each track, and a couple live tracks.
