Scott H. Biram
Austin’s Scott H. Biram has been a critical darling for some time now, picking up rave reviews for his blazing backwoods-style reinvention of ’30s Delta blues. In 2005, Bloodshot Records re-released an expanded version of his commendable debut, The Dirty Old One Man Band, followed by 2006’s Graveyard Shift, which came out to equally fine notices. Biram’s take on the blues has always been rough-edged and swamp-encrusted, and 2009’s Something’s Wrong/Lost Forever extended that even further, conjuring the spirits of grizzly bluesmen like John Lee Hooker, Hasil Adkins, and R.L. Burnside and channeling it through a punk ethos. A new album, Bad Ingredients, was released on Bloodshoot in October, and includes Biram’s original material along with covers of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Bill Monroe.
