Jake Bugg performing at the Brixton Academy, London (Alberto Pezzali for Live4ever)
Jake Bugg will embark on an acoustic tour of the UK in November after releasing a new album next month.
Hearts That Strain is out on September 1st, recorded in Nashville with respected US musicians Gene Chrisman and Bobby Wood. There’s also a collaboration with Dan Auerbach on the track How Soon The Dawn, and it’s this which has been picked as the first single. “They’re old guys but they’re amazing,” Jake says of his recording partners.
“It was ten to five and then that’s it. They’d pack up and we’d done two or three tunes. It was a mad vibe being from England and meeting these absolute legends and then cutting some tracks with them.”
