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’s 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, “I’m constantly trying to go back to the junky, lo-fi sounds of my early records,” says Biram. “But it’s 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’s a mix of blues, country, folk, and influences from heavier genres like metal and hard rock.”
The One & Only Scott H. Biram showcases Scott’s signature unapologetic style. Tracks like “No Man’s Land” describe the hazards of growing up poor in a small Texas town, breathing the fumes from oil wells and brush fires. Says Biram, “I was remembering a bumper sticker I saw as a kid that said, ‘Oil Field Trash and Proud of It!’” “Inside a Bar” captures the feel of an empty saloon on a slow Monday night. It’s a straight-forward country blues, with an understated vocal, intensified by an impressive solo, that mimics the tones of a pedal steel guitar. “I was going for the sound of loneliness and alcoholism colliding.”
