I read somewhere that he only wrote a handfuls of his songs, and many are co-wrote or simply to his original work. I don't know how I feel about this as probably all of the music industry is this way. He just seemed to reek homegrown talent and soul, but you have to wonder if he is just another alien manufactured artist no better than the likes of Pop industry robots (please fill in your own examples of a band/musician you hate - I'd suggest my personal hates but it's all a matter of opinion of course) though his talent is undoubtable. His voice sounds like gravelly sugar beginning to melt in a rustic pan over a hob of pure unadulterated magical guitar.
Maybe I don't care about the deep ethical issues right at this moment, as snuggled here in my bed all I know is that Lightning Bolt, and Jake Bugg in general, is pure genius.
