Jake Bugg – Trouble Town

So the influences here are obvious; Cash, Zimmerman, Don McLean, etc. You’ve heard this “Greatest Folk Heroes of the Western World” aping before. But you’ve probably never heard it pulled off quite like this and by a 17 YEAR OLD. Jake Bugg is a 17 YEAR OLD kid from Nottingham. If Jake can keep up the work ethic, think about what someone with his talent will sound like at 21, 25, and so on. Anyway, Jake is a pretty exciting discovery for us and we think you’ll be equally knocked out as well. Get started below with “Trouble Town”
