Artist: Scott H. Biram
Title: Graveyard Shift
Label: Bloodshot
Release Date: 2006
Format: MP3 @ 320 K
Austin musician Scott H. Biram's whiskey-fueled, rough-and-ready mix of country, blues, rock & roll, and anything else he damn well pleases collars the listener like the ravings of a deranged, debauched, defrocked prophet. On the one-man-band's frenetic second album for Bloodshot, "Been Down Too Long" serves as both an introduction and a warning, while "No Way" is an ominous vision of the future that prepares the way for songs like the throat-searing, unstoppable "Plow You Under," which amid the mayhem seems more like a simple statement of fact than any kind of threat.

Title: Somethings Wrong/Lost Forever
Label: Bloodshot
Release Date: 2009
Format: MP3 @ 320 K
A one-man blues/rock/country act reporting directly from the demon dimension, Scott H. Biram is hellfire personified. His songs reverberate with backwater desperation, hillbilly menace, big city bravado, and storefront church salvation. On this 2009 release--this third for Bloodshot Records--Biram makes a great noise armed with only a guitar, harmonica, and stomp board, although the like-minded Black Diamond Heavies join him on one track.
Track List:
01. Hospital Escape
02. Time Flies
03. Sinkin' Down
04. Still Drunk, Still Crazy, Still Blue
05. Ain't It a Shame
06. Judgement Day

Title: Bad Ingredients
Label: Bloodshot
Release Date: 2011
Format: MP3 @ 320 K
There are large portions of Bad Ingredients, his fourth release for Bloodshot Records, where Biram sounds like he's truly alone in this world, sitting in a room with his voice, his guitar, and a head full of mean thoughts about bad luck, bad women, and a future that seems cloudy at best. Biram has a well-earned reputation for kicking up a lot of dust as a performer, and he turns the amps up to ten on tracks like "Dontcha Lie to Me Baby," "Wind Up Blind," and "Killed a Chicken Last Night," but much of Bad Ingredients finds him in a quieter and more contemplative mood, picking his acoustic and singing with a raw, bluesy tone that's softer but no less troubled or heartfelt. Bad Ingredients is a 100-proof blend of country, blues, and one man's steely vision of a world that's not about to give him a fair shake.
Recording information: Hiram's Hell Hole, Austin, TX.
