Jake Bugg inspired by Dolly Parton's Glastonbury set: 'I'd like to make a country album'

Singer-songwriter Jake Bugg has revealed that after watching icon Dolly Parton's Glastonbury performance recently, he has been inspired to travel to Nashville and think about working on an album of country songs. 

He told the Daily Star newspaper that he is really interesting in taking a trip to Music City because he already has some ideas for potential country songs and would love to indulge it while he's feeling creative:

"I'm a fan of Dolly's beautiful voice and great songs. She's a woman with great stories, so Dolly is pretty cool... I've recently been coming up with ideas for songs and have come up with country ideas. Next year I'd like to have some time off to travel around to the southern states, (and) Nashville and Memphis, and hang out, get inspired, see what happens... maybe I'll make a country album which would be pretty sweet."

Earlier this month, Bugg confessed that he isn't too fond of music festivals because the experience is a 'drag': "I hate festivals so much, but obviously to be this high up on the line-up and to be playing here tonight (Glastonbury), is a privilege. But the actual experience of festivals I could really do without."
