Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg+ special guests

“Find me a lawyer, find me a friend,” pleads Jake Bugg on the galloping ‘Never Can Tell’, the launch single of seventh album ‘Alamo’. “Are they in it for the money? I guess I’ll find out in the end…” It’s got the direct from-the-heart simplicity of his earliest material that found him fame on his huge- selling self-titled debut back when he was 18, but now howling back from a more world-weary soul. At 32, now’s the time for some real and long-delayed self-reckoning. The siege is on. This is his Alamo.

“It’s really hard to know who to trust in this day and age, especially growing up how I did and having to be vigilant and observant of the people around you,” he admits. “‘Never Can Tell’ is about that. Life throws so many parallels at you and it’s hard to know which way to go. You’ve just got to go with what your gut tells you.”

Bugg’s instincts this time took him to the roots of his original country music muse and back to face his troubled childhood. After the rock-leaning political charge of last album ‘A Modern Day

Distraction’ laid a crossfire on society’s ills and how they tore apart the people he grew up with, now the Nottingham-born-and-raised troubadour needed to take a look in the mirror.
