Bman's Blues Report

I've just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Nothin' But Blood , by Scott H. Biram and it's really cool. Opening with Slow and Easy , Biram finger picks his way through a authentic western (cowboy) sounding track with not only clever dexterity but with an authoritative voice. Gotta Get To Heaven has a springy country feel with acoustic guitar and tambourine. Country riffs are inserted on electric guitar and Biram rattles off lyrics in a rhythmic pattern. Sounding like he's playing the track just for me and possibly a small intimate crowd gives the song a real personal feel. Alcohol Blues has a rockier feel with gruff vocals. You can just hear the the track getting ready to burst through the grind of the electric guitar and amp. A one man band, overdubbed electric guitar for soloing is necessary but cool.

The aptly titled Bad Machine Tour follows the release of outstanding new albums in Biram’s Bad Ingredients and Loveless’ Indestructible Machine and brings together two genre-defining voices, as well as Bloodshot Records label mates. The perfect bluesman for the 21st century, Biram filters classic American roots music through metal, hardcore and plenty of whiskey, resulting in a sound as unique as it is awesome. – Metromix, on Scott She conveys toughness, tenderness and humor with off-handed conviction… these are songs that signal a major new voice blowing into the country-punk dives and honky-tonks. – Chicago Tribune, on Lydia The Bad Machine Tour begins in Dallas, TX on January 26 and circles around the Southeastern US before looping back to Houston, Texas (venue to be announced) two weeks later.

I just received the new Scott Biram release "Bad Ingredients". This is a way cool release. It has a little bit of everything. Lets say take a blues tune, give it a lot of attitude, I mean maybe even punk it up a bit, but keep it gritty, keep the blues down and dirty, and get some real tube distortion and lay that out with your original flair and you got a good description of this new deal. This new 13 track release will certainly get you somewhere you haven't been. have a good time. Bman Get Facebook support for your favorite band or venue - click HERE
