NEW VINYL LP ON MERCURY 2012 180 GRAM VINYL. As far as debut albums go, this eponymous release is a surprisingly accomplished effort from the Nottingham-born teenager Jake Bugg. Although he stares out from the album cover like a younger, long-lost cousin of the View or the Enemy, while those U.K. indie acts found their nourishment on a diet of the Jam, Oasis, and the Strokes, Bugg found time to explore pre-Beatles music from the likes of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. These influences -- combined with a folk sensibility and moments of delicate acoustic fingerpicking that betray a love for Bob Dylan and Donovan -- make for an accessible, pop-focused record that doesn’t attempt to chase innovat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Bugg Tracklist 01 Lightning Bolt 2:23 02 Two Fingers 3:15 03 Taste It 2:24 04 Seen It All 2:49 05 Simple As This 3:17 06 Country Song 1:45 07 Broken 4:07 01 Trouble Town 2:47 02 Ballad Of Mr Jones 2:39 03 Slide 3:08 04 Someone Told Me 2:35 05 Note To Self 2:40 06 Someplace 3:32 07 Fire 1:45
