One of my favorite's of the year, Jake Bugg's Lightning Bolt has just been re-released, I hope this time around the song gets higher than the UK no 88 that it reached earlier in the year.
Bugg was born in
Nottingham England he was chosen by the
BBC to appear on their "Introducing" stage at the 2011 Glastonbury
Festival aged 17, and because of this was given a contract by Mercury Records. His songs were then placed on various BBC
Radio play lists and one of them, "Country Song", was selected for
use in a national TV beer commercial for Greene King IPA.
In August 2012 Bugg was a supporting act for Noel
Gallagher's High Flying Birds at Belsonic Music Festival, Belfast. On 22 May
2012, Bugg appeared on the BBC music programme Later... with Jools Holland. On
1 October 2012, he performed live on the BBC Radio 6 Music programme Live at
Maida Vale. Bugg's debut album was released on 15 October 2012. Talking about
Bugg and his debut Clash magazine hailed the "precocious talent fusing
retro folk with blistering contemporary rock riffs".
Bugg is great and will grow and grow.
