Scott H Biram
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
