The Bad Testament (Southbound)

Texan maverick Scott H Biram has been delving into the dark abyss for nigh on two decades as a one-man-band on a mission to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. The rebellious zeal of his early years has been tempered (though Train Wrecker is a blunt redneck punkrocker of a song) by a country-bluesyroot­sy back alley kind of musical redemption where songs of heartbreak such as the edgy Red Wine, with its crunchy guitar, and the forlornnes­s of Long Old Time call are the bastard children of a lost soul still searching for righteousn­ess. – Mike Alexander
