Jake Bugg, the working-class teenage-troubadour in Prada shoes.
Bugg first became interested in music at the age of 12, after hearing Don McLean’s Vincent on an episode of The Simpsons. He began playing bass in his older cousin’s band, and around the same time began writing songs, citing the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Donovan, Johnny Cash and the Everly Brothers as inspirations. By 16, he had dropped out of a music technology course at college and began playing local gigs. His debut album is a paean to his upbringing, rife with working-class hero lyrics: ‘Stuck in speed bump city where the only thing that’s pretty is the thought of getting out | There’s a tower block overhead, all you got’s your benefits and you’re barely scraping by’. Its rasping melodies, sung with a rusty 10-cigarette-a-day lilt, have seen him dubbed an East Midlands Bob Dylan, but he is sanguine about the comparison. ‘Bob Dylan’s cool’, Bugg said, ‘you know, he’s great, but he’s not a major influence’.

Mick67Tolo scheint das Alter unheimlich wichtig zu sein. Solange ein Musiker nicht zwischen 23 und 40 ist, ist das für Tolo das alles überstrahlende Kriterium.
Na Mick, du hörst doch mit den Stones auch bevorzugt deine Altersgruppe.
