Jake Bugg is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Jake Bugg, released in 2012. This classic has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios and includes 2 rare & 14 previously unreleased recordings, unseen Kevin Westenberg photos, & a 2022 Dean Jackson (BBC DJ) essay.
"On 'Two Fingers', Bugg talks wistfully of scheming on the streets of Clifton, where he and his mates would "skin up a fat one, hide from the feds", as though life held no nobler pursuit. You can tell that, up until now, his world has been small, and he might well have spiraled down the sinkhole that swallows so many marginalised estate kids. Eventually, however, Bugg comes to the same conclusion that we do: "Something is changing, changing, changing". If this debut album - rife with uncommon wit, insight and melody - is testament to anything, it's that his small, unremarkable world is about to get a whole lot bigger. 9/10" - NME
