Jake Bugg - Hearts that Strain

Review by Harriet Linnell

A record that fails to impress, delivered without vigour.»

Jake Bugg releases his stunning new album Hearts That Strain, recorded in Nashville. The record features surprise collaborations with The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, who plays guitar on the single How Soon The Dawn. Working with Grammy Award winning producer David Ferguson and Matt Sweeney, Jake recorded the album in Nashville with some of the best players in the history of popular music. As part of American Sound Studio’s legendary house band The Memphis Boys, Gene Chrisman and Bobby Woods provided the chops on such pivotal records as Dusty In Memphis, In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds and Dark End Of The Street, cutting their teeth in sessions with Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick.
