I’m not totally sure exactly what happened to the past Bloodshot Records debacles, but in the past few years the label itself has persevered and in fact….has released some titles in the recent past. Heck not too long ago, J.P.Harris signed to the label, and with him there is NO telling what kind of awesome music we will be getting from that deal there.<\/p>\n

This man Scott H. Biram is a complete Legend of local music, and I strongly feel that the mainstream media is moronic for overlooking him. He has done so much for so many people, and for 30 years, he has done it all and toured the country from coast to coast. In fact, he is going to be part of the Muddy Roots lineup during the pre party.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure I will be there for the entire event, unless something goes bad on me.<\/p>\n

Here is the press release from it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned Texan solo bluesman Scott H. Biram has announced his first full-length album in four years, “The One & Only Scott H. Biram,” out on March 29. The album, Biram\u2019s 13th overall and 9th with longtime label Bloodshot Records, follows a storied, near-30-year career marked by critical acclaim and a resilient spirit.Speaking about the album’s sonic direction, Biram shared, \u201cI\u2019m constantly trying to go back to the junky, lo-fi sounds of my early records,\u201d says Biram. \u201cBut it\u2019s harder to do now. The more you learn about production the harder it is to convey that genuine unproduced feeling. I have to compromise between overproduced and lo-fi, so it sounds pro, but still keeps that grittiness. It\u2019s a mix of blues, country, folk, and influences from heavier genres like metal and hard rock.”The One & Only Scott H. Biram showcases Scott\u2019s signature unapologetic style. Tracks like “No Man\u2019s Land” describe the hazards of growing up poor in a small Texas town, breathing the fumes from oil wells and brush fires. Says Biram, \u201cI was remembering a bumper sticker I saw as a kid that said, \u2018Oil Field Trash and Proud of It!\u2019\u201d \u201cInside a Bar\u201d captures the feel of an empty saloon on a slow Monday night. It\u2019s a straight-forward country blues, with an understated vocal, intensified by an impressive solo, that mimics the tones of a pedal steel guitar. \u201cI was going for the sound of loneliness and alcoholism colliding.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I know that sometimes I am behind on stories and album releases for a long time, I been busy taking care of some personal issues and as soon as I finish them, I can focus fully on the website and road show and festival articles again.<\/p>\n

I think this statement from Scott is 100 correct HE HAS found ways to produce independent sounding music in a modern way. These songs are exactly the hardcore grind that one would come to expect from Biram,\u00a0 whether it be originals or a cover like song “Easy Rider”. Some sing it like “C.C.Rider” like Old Crow Medicine Show did years ago, and Ray Charles did it…many more.<\/p>\n

One of the best songs on this album is “Inside A Bar” with a slower waltz style tempo. It’s your typical dark and gloomy Scott H. Biram lyrics of drunken disparity, while still maintaining to be a masterpiece.\u00a0 All but two of these songs are written by Biram himself, and if you want to go one that Dirty Old One Man Band rocket ride, you need to get onto this man’s bandwagon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
