Playlist 15.10.12

It's all going terribly well for Jake Bugg. Endorsements from Noel Gallagher and Snow Patrol. A streak of savvy releases plus the imprimatur of Jools Holland and Later. Number one in the iTunes chart. An able songwriting coach and partner with Iain Archer. And an album that reveals the teenager to be sharp with his words and his style. He has the tumbling insouciance of Bob Dylan circa 'Highway 61 Revisited' and a powerful sense of the local. Like Alex Turner, he sings with the surety of a villager, enjoying his own vernacular and the vision of someone well to the north of Main Street.
