Jamie T draws from a number of inspirations on his sophomore disc, Kings & Queens. The British songwriter channels classic protest rock (Bob Dylan), second-wave ska (The Clash), contemporary Americana (Ryan Adams) and even hardcore punk (Bad Brains) on his follow-up to 2007’s Mercury Prize shortlisted Panic Prevention. Yet fans of Jamie’s will recognize his own dizzying delivery, spinning yarns about everything from booze-fueled nights in London to the collapse of global financial institutions.
