Jake Bugg: Jake Bugg (10th Deluxe Anniv. Ed.) (3CD)

"The Future of Music, He's Like Dylan Meets The Arctic Monkeys?" Noel Gallagher Jake Bugg is undoubtedly one of the biggest new discoveries of the year. His self-titled debut album went straight to #1 on the UK album charts in October 2012. But even before the #1 debut album, Jake had already caused a sensation: first with an appearance in the opening act of that top-secret Stone Roses show at London's Village Underground, and then just a few days later opening for Noel Gallagher what was probably his most intimate solo show ever (Gallagher had performed at Dingwalls in Camden). While the latter unceremoniously engaged the young man for the rest of his tour through Europe and the USA, Jake Bugg now not only has a lot of big gigs ahead of him, but rather: a big future. Jake's songwriting style is preferably based on the sound of days gone by. His big influences are Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Donovan, but occasionally you can also hear References to younger bands like Oasis or The Arctic Monkeys. He says of himself: "I would have loved to have been born in the 60s, that would have been my time. But well: now I'm here." From the heart of Nottingham comes the precociously talented Jake Bugg. Discovering music through a Don McLean song he heard whilst watching the Simpsons, his is a very modern folk tale. With a musical diet consisting of Dylan, Glen Campbell, Wiz Khalifa and more, its eclectic as it is unique.
