Hey Justin Bieber fans, move over: there's a new JB in town (and the only one I will officially recognize as a musical artist lol). Jake Bugg is an up-and-coming 18-year-old folk singer from Nottingham, England. Most of my favorite music comes from English artists but Jake Bugg adds to that classic Brit legacy with a bit of '50s folk rock, ala Bob Dylan. "Country Song" is an excellent example of this - a gentle, acoustic guitar piece with simple lyrics that just feel so genuine sung in Jake Bugg's young, but timeless voice. I had the privilege of seeing him on tour with Noel Gallagher and Snow Patrol last month, he was just as good live (if not better!) than his recordings. I had heard Noel speak well of him and knew Jake had to be good, the Chief doesn't give praise lightly lol. No band to accompany him on the tour, it was just Jake his guitar and the microphone, and "Country Song" is one of the best tracks to exemplify his fundamental style. My mom actually liked Jake best of the whole concert. (no comment there, I'm a massive Oasis fan lol)
I've been having trouble finding Jake Bugg's debut album here in the U.S., just checked mp3Caprice though and you guys have it! Can't wait to hear the whole thing, the singles are all awesome. If you don't opt to get the album I recommend checking out Jake's single "Two Fingers" in addition to this one, it's more upbeat and rockish than "Country Song". I look forward to seeing what Jake does with his career and plan to follow it closely, if these early tracks are any indication he's got a bright future ahead of him. 5/5 stars all the way for "Country Song".

"Counry Song" by Jake Bugg is a great single for anyone's folk library. A lyrical guitar finger picking and Jake Bugg's old timey voice fit perfectly letting one's imagination to drift to "simpler times". I can't help but notice similarities between Jake Bugg and Bob Dillon. "Country Song" is a soft, intimate track that will captivate it's listeners with lyrics that will challenge their inner soul. Definitely a must buy for any fan of folk music.
