The kid is absolutely bursting with talent.

[@joshuahomme1]

and unaffected too.

[@barryflowers4550]

Joshua Homme Yep, he's a total natural in front of the cameras. Completely unfazed by them, the media, interviews and whatever else, and he's only 19.

[@Randothol]

Thankfully Saville is dead and cannot interfere.

[@paulkinsler8989]

He's just beautiful for jake

[@samlyness5763]

Un-affected by modern fad….just pure music that has been influenced by incredible musicians instead of fame and celebrity

[@jimmythunders95]

jake bugg gives a new generation hope that young people can still make true music that comes from the heart.

[@RoxanaLaufeyson]

Jesus christ he's amazing

[@DeZimber1]

I agree! He's awesome, kinda sounds like an old timey singer which is great because I think today's music needs to be refreshed, ya know? Btw, you're cute :)

[@GrumpyGames]

Charlie Cook smooth, dude.. real smooth..

[@RoxanaLaufeyson]

Charlie Cook thanks:)

[@AbhishekVermaWasHere]

***** Hahaha

[@LinGin91]

Definitely his best rendition of Trouble Town, no question.

[@brendaluna173]

Is it weird if I say that I cried when he sang Broken? It's unbelievable to think how much a song can affect you. It felt so real to me

[@brendaluna173]

Daniel Ramalho thanks!

[@Payboll69]

I cried too once while listening broken, cos I was feeling like that for real and that song reached me really deep... singing it helped me to get out my frustration ;)

[@jimgindele4526]

Dude I wept like a little baby at a u2 concert few years back. And broken can get you if your in a particular mood. That's why music is great..

[@imgoingonholidaytovietnam3631]

bro I was listening to A Song About Love on my ipod when I came home to find my cat dead on the floor. He was singing "I'm just trying to find where you are" when I was looking around for her until I found her dead body. :/

[@brendaluna173]

+im going on holiday to Vietnam so sorry, something like that happened to me too, I found my dog dead while I was listening to David Bowie's last record, I haven't listened to it since then.

[@ninabuh620]

His songs make me feel sad. i dont know why and i dont like it but cant stop listening...help me...

[@andrer1664]

nah, deal with it ninaaaa

[@techtipsuk]

Why sad? makes me feel great

[@08bourquem]

this kid is on fire

[@angelamontoya6354]

Love, Love this kid! I took my son to Black Keys in Seattle and we have not stopped listening to Jake since! Jake is amazing beyond his years and encompasses artist of old in his youth.

[@angelamontoya6354]

and the kid walked on stage and just started playing...amazing!

[@AdamSchadt]

That concert was awesome btw.

[@davidwright7771]

Lucky for you. NC got St Vincent. It was....not like this.

[@froggiechar]

You are so right! I like his voice, and I "really" like his guitar-playing. He sure has talent! I enjoy his own (original_ songs, but I like his other covers, too. the one of Don Gibson's that he does is one of my favorites: "I Can't Stop Loving You." I sing it on KZbin. He gave me the idea of recording it! Thank you, Brother Charles Pratt P.S. I was born in SEATTLE!

[@emmyholm3855]

This guy saved my life with his music, I am forever grateful. Hope I get to see him live someday. Love from Sweden

[@salvatiziana854]

His voice is so weird but it suits him so well, i really don’t know how to describe it? Not the bad kind of weird, just the peculiar kind, so raw!! Discovered him days ago, his sound it’s truly around..

[@momsmusic8136]

He's in his own lane, no one like him or with that voice, hope he stay true to himself.... Love this kid

[@franciscotoledo4233]

À

[@pimpmysniper]

He's so innocent, you can see his nervous energy when he's talking but when he sings he's just in his element.. beautiful to watch a genius at work

[@MarkCranerium]

I hope this kid survives the massive amounts of success he's going to experience.

[@sgtruesdale]

first artist that has grabbed me in twenty years, may be the savior of my generation too. I'm 48

[@stan9253]

Jake Bugg you beautiful man.

[@thismessismine]

He's so great! Also, how the hell does everything on KEXP sound so amazing? Some of the best-sounding live performances I've found anywhere online.

[@yelper185g3]

that's what I was thinking to. check out Charles Bradley on kexp.

[@michaeljohnston3741]

+yelper 185 g now he has soul. thanks for the info

[@thismessismine]

Charles Bradley is great. I didn't know he did a KEXP session; I'll certainly check it out. Thanks!

[@michaeljohnston3741]

Kayleigh Saum it's fantastic. I'm glad I read the comments or I'd have missed this great singer

[@thismessismine]

Michael Johnston Definitely, I only heard about Charles Bradley once from a friend even though I know he's pretty well-known these days, BUT definitely not as much as he deserves.

[@kevinhouten7953]

Beyond his years. Born in a difficult household with parents being alcoholics. Put his heart into moulding his unique talent. Well done young'un. Brilliant 👏

[@nickj1706]

this dude truly sings with his soul :')

[@MrCliffsboy]

superb thoroughly entertained me for 25 mins......how any 1 can moan about this is beyond me hes 19 for gods sake on his own just a acoustic guitar ...great songwriter hes got depth hes not a 3 chord wonder good lyricist his voice might not be for everyone but for me its abit different and i like that hes real hes got a great future im sure ...

[@HanaBananaChan]

Singin for my generation. Thanks Mr. Bugg!

[@Halfshanks]

Trouble Town sounds so good in this session, I love his strumming technique.

[@TrekBuilder]

I found this this artist for the first time a couple of days ago, and I have to say I am really loving his music. This kid has got some serious talent. I simply can't understand why there are so many people ripping on him. I tell you, he's got REAL talent, not like half of the crap out there today. People need to give credit where credit is due!!

[@dianechicarelli8605]

I'm over the moon. This is the kind of performance I love the most. Bare, pared down to just a guitar and voice. No distractions. His voice is sublime.

[@javierdevirgo8419]

I was howling along from beginning to end. Jacob is pure talent!!!

[@owenayre8797]

Catching Jake in Shanghai tonight. Can't wait!

[@42StevoStyle]

Raw talent please don't get lost like some of the greatest have... 19 yrs old wow...

[@bascet1]

I actually saw this kid in Manchester walking to Piccadilly station with his guitar on his back listening to his iPod. Nobody knew who he was at the time. He seems like a down to earth kid.

[@KaylynGrace]

I wish people appreciated this kind of music more.

[@andipine745]

Even that small voice crack at 21:39 sounded good. What an amazing voice.

[@thesliceisright]

I am absolutelt speechless. Wtf! Um. The world will soon catch on. This guy is timeless and absolutely raw authentic, like painfully so, ....i cant. Wow. You go jake bugg

[@jenniferfrederick883]

Never heard this dude before, but he's really good. Long live KEXP!

[@kolecava]

Lightning Bolt will get him so many royalties from movies, shows, adverts... Such a hit. Love Troubled Town on this set

[@michelschoch1636]

saw him live yesterday and I still have no words for it.. just the atmosphere he creates is so special and beautiful.. definitely gonna see him live again!!

[@MaidenCanada]

Its great knowing that Jake is more popular than ever! Hes absolutely brilliant! I hope he makes it to Canada soon 😊❤❤

[@willmatthews8694]

Watching this in 2020 after recently seeing Jake in Cardiff. He was brilliant, but watching this video now I can’t help but feel like he never quite made it as far as he could? Raw talent here is undeniable and I would’ve watched this in 2013 and thought he was destined to be the next worlds biggest thing...

[@Blahblah-tz9en]

2020 here to

[@g.r.j.1538]

i dont he wanted to be the next worlds biggest thing...

[@Xbendoesbricks]

Only 800k views, underrated!

[@sotiroussis]

such an original artist...wow!

[@TwisTeDRAMPAGE7]

broken may be the most under rated song i have ever heard.

[@aceominous]

A legend in the making

[@tina30stm]

Why isn't your music on the radio all the time? You should be on top charts! Best musical talent I've heard in a while

[@AdelheidJH]

can't help but in love with his voice

[@brittanycota9528]

Never can get enough of Jake

[@GipsyQueen1234]

Amazing artist! Just discovered him and can't get enough of his music

[@stevelittlefield4548]

Bought the album after listening to this. Thanks for the exposure KEXP!

[@carolekernus]

Im going to repeat something I just read " Ive gotten the Jake Bug" ! He is really INFECTIOUS! :o) Love his talent and hes got lots of that

[@tamashawick4931]

good real music

[@buggcrazyfan5541]

tamasha wick yass

[@NanaYawAforo]

A legend is born

[@twistedxxsecret]

Ahhhhh the way he plays with his hands, all nervously❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@steveash8766]

Lovely sound quality that shows this lad for what he is..... a hell of a talent!!!

[@todd0holaday]

I've enjoyed many of the KEXP live performances on KZbin. I keep coming back to this one because it so enjoyable. The interview is interesting, the audio quality is outstanding and I wish Jake Bugg great success. Great lyrics and sound. Appreciate it.

[@tj-kv6vr]

fantastic, I was amazed that I could actually understand his lyrics, articulate vocals.

[@giovannisizino]

you make my day everyday dude !

[@TheChelseacraze]

I saw him tonight opening for the black keys and he has to have been the best part of the entire show. I was just in love. I bought his CD and a shirt, this guy is a tremendous performer

[@gedztujago220592]

underrated, what a talent

[@dottie4carl754]

Just found this singer, after listening to the oldie, "Oh Susie Darlin" from 1958. It is now 2020. I guess Jake Bugg is well into his 20's by now, 25 or so. He is certainly a good songwriter and singer...wow.

[@AcshIttable]

the best thing about this musician and his choice of genre is that he's only going to get better as he gets older

[@najelapereira3974]

yes!!

[@jordorfc]

He has a ghost writer you know this???

[@jordorfc]

Ian archer needs more recognition

[@colinsevelyortiz]

Jake Bugg is truly amazing, such a real look at the world through his eyes, his music is so gorgeous, yet rough. I'd give anything to hear him do a Neutral Milk Hotel song.

[@tequilandthevelvet]

So talented, congratulations young boy!

[@jodiemcgowan4784]

The first time I heard broken I cried ,,, I hear it tonight I cried the hairs stand on end and Jake touches my soul 😎 raw talent people 💗✌🏼 effortless 👌🏻

[@hugorodas9174]

I thought Broken couldn't sound any better. It can. So pure.

[@Paulyb1963]

Fresh, unique, dastardly good. Jan. 11 in Boston. Looking highly forward.

[@bronwynbennett922]

Heard this 100 times...still GOOSEBUMPS...I Am ONE

[@judemarques8210]

Surely a future legend..

[@OneBullet4586]

this kid sounds damn good..

[@chasesumner8571]

Reminds me of a young Bob dylan

[@baum7des7lebens7]

Touches my heart.. I will still hear his songs in 50 years from now...

[@memories4604]

Even a 60s grandma can appreciate this kid. His sad songs are from the heart with some achingly honest and simple lyrics (eg. 'Broken'). Reminds me of N.Young & J.Taylor. Love his quirky/jumpy 'Lightning Bolt'. Hope this young, unpolished talent is around a long time so we can watch him mature into a fine artist.

[@billgrundy7974]

The best young guitarist in Britain by a country mile

[@123prestolee]

Jesus...Broken....goose bumps.

[@longblonde44]

Absolutely blown away by the power and the beauty of his voice - so unique

[@barrylird7133]

This sound is just ridiculously good.. Could listen to his guitar and voice both for at least a week non stop

[@ruimartinslucky]

ohhh yeahhh babe my boy knows how to rock and blues

[@sarahgb2830]

one word that sums up this video: wow.

[@bronwynbennett922]

Jake Bugg you have helped so many of us in a struggling place!!! Thank you! I listen to you to Calm Down!! Your DISTINCT VOCALS are ONE IN A MILLION!

[@hannahdavis7379]

Phenomenal human

[@zombie_rob4124]

Jake Bugg definately is something specials, i thank my British gf and love of my life for introducing me

[@Tom-db9hr]

The captions to this are fantastic

[@pechym1607]

don't know how to stop loving this man...

[@paulwilkinson5656]

210 thumbs down lol, some people eh! I'm 52 years old that's the best performance I've seen and it was 5 years ago....what have I been doing with my life???

[@markhildebrand2417]

This guy has so much talent. One of the very few newer (younger) artists that I've really enjoyed. He has a sound unique to him. In the past 20 years he's only one of two new musicians who really is a sensational songwriter and performer.

[@helenarodrigues7344]

Who's the other one?

[@amandafeliciano542]

I wanna know too, who's the other??

[@markhildebrand2417]

Lily Allen. Funny thing is a lot of people have never heard of her

[@simonwilliamson9637]

Finally someone of a generation (since mine) that well....feels it when they bring their music to the masses!!!! Awesome, thanks Jake!!!

[@tommyalvarado3428]

Jake Bugg, the savior of my generation!

[@joshastarita8069]

This should of got more than 1Million views.

[@causelessharm4444]

there's still time bruv.

[@aexl82]

Justin Bieber! Have a look at this guy. This is how you get a real legend. Big up for Jake, best skilled music I've heard for years!

[@X-Stacy]

I love how initially he’s very shy and almost distant but after they start talking he opens up and cracks a smile. That smile is so beautiful, you can feel the pain in his eyes.

[@DavidMerinos]

For real, this guy is amazing!!!

[@garythomas5423]

2019 still loving the talent ov this kid

[@Blahblah-tz9en]

Hi I’m watching this in 2020

[@silviaregis6569]

He's fantastic, isn't He? I discovered him 2 years ago and went to his solo acoustic performance in Milan. Then I decided to play guitar again after many years just for playing and singing his songs, and I did. I'm 65. I apologize for my terrible english.

[@geoffm7497]

Silvia Regis do u do any videos on the songs u know how to play?

[@silviaregis6569]

@@geoffm7497 no, I didn't. But if you need to learn some you can find many good tutorials online .

[@geoffm7497]

Silvia Regis kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXWsf313d5V-eLs i know a couple sngs myself actually check out that bugg live vid

[@SuperCutiepie1012]

i'm only on the first song but wow he has so much character! he's so animated and plays guitar so great!!

[@craigwhite3171]

you are a fucking ledgend love everything he sings

[@jillbaxter5459]

Beautiful set, beautiful guy and a lovely interviewer!! Love KEXP

[@melissaherrnkind7507]

Best man ever *-* he's so talented and i love his music!!

[@zsuzsannacircleedge8416]

Actually you like Bob Dylan and Simon & Artfunkel - don't you?

[@Fannywikstrom95]

Zsuzsanna Circleedge Simon and ARTfunkel?? Really? I think YOU need to start accepting Jake's choice of genre. I think he's brilliant, and so does the majority of people on here, so stop spreading your negative energy here and let people like whatever they want to like. I understand you seem to think Jake is talented, but yet I see you have commented on 4-5 comments claiming he is "wasting his talent". In fact you, ma'am, are wasting your TIME on trying to convince people that he is copying others. It's called INSPIRATION. Deal with it.

[@imamuser7281]

Pure talented and gorgeous genius❣️❣️ his hands are gold, like war machine

[@matinee310]

What maturity and sincerity in such a young person! Jake Bugg.

[@AaronHolden]

GODDDDDDDDDDD You're music is so damn past your years, I re watched this thinking WTF!

[@scooby1204]

I saw him and you are right. Super!!

[@TaylorHoranthegreat]

Simply wonderful! Come visit Seattle again soon!!

[@TheKyleSchutz]

country song...wow. just wow. Jake you're so dang talented.

[@renodavid]

Wow, such a talent. So glad I watched this. I had seen his performance with his band at the iTunes Musical Festival and this blows that show away. He seemed a bit aloof there. This is much more soulful and connected. Perfect, really. Thanks, KEXP!

[@donbyland9808]

this kid is on his way!!

[@Vander_PO]

Don't have any word to say..... it's superb !!!!!
