Thanks for the recommendation. Checked him out and enjoyed what he had to offer. Always enjoy recommendations, and of course it is up to the listener to decide if it suits their tastes. Similar to the ongoing debate here about speakers, tubes vs. ss, etc. LOL And of course treading in the sacred territory of Dylan references brings what it brings. I love Dylan, but also appreciate that he is the benchmark for a style of music, so any comparison is just that - a reference point to an icon.
The new Bob Dylan
I think the torche has been passed to the young and super talented
Jake Bugg. (see his debut Jake Bugg)
His voice sounds well worn, his songwriting and production are so strong , that veteran musicians with 25 years on the business would be lucky to produce an album this great. This kid is like 19 years old!! On some songs his youth is used to sound fresh and exciting , while on other tracks he sounds like a fifty year old troubadour . A stunning first album! Take a listen on Spotify or MoG, or buy the cd. I expect a brilliant future for this kid .
