Lest we forget how good the music of the late fifties was, here comes a new voice who seems hellbent on reminding us. And the extraordinary thing is, he wasn’t born till 1994. Jake Bugg, an 18-year-old from Nottingham, is almost too good to be true: he could be a member of the skiffle band in the play One Man, Two Guvnors. His look is that of a mid-sixties pop star – dark fringe, cute face, a hint of attitude and vulnerability. But his sound comes straight from the late fifties. Fresh, clear and uncluttered, it is mostly just a voice (nasal twang, crisp diction) and a guitar (a Telecaster, bustling, bursting with life). It’s as if Buddy Holly had grown up on a council estate in the East Midlands.

Με αφορμή του νέο δίσκου της Rickie Lee Jones με τις διασκευές (το οποίο ψιλοχαζοάκουσα -αποσπασματικά είναι η αλήθεια-, κι επειδή δεν ενθουσιάστηκα δε βάζω τραγούδι) αλλά και του αφιερώματος που έκανα για τον Tom Waits, σας βάζω το Rainbow Sleeves το οποίο το έχει γράψει ο Τοm.
Για την (κουτσομπολίστικη) ιστορία, αυτοί οι 2 ήταν ζευγάρι κάποτε (για λίγο καιρό στα 70s)
