According to the discourse of the pop-management industry, the Chinese language (either Cantonese or Mandarin - management consultants prefer to work in the comforting atmosphere of generalisations) uses the same word for crisis and opportunity. The factual basis of this superficially profound socio-linguistic observation isn't clear - the smart money has it that it's as credible as Shane Warne's guide to managing personal relationships - but it does seem both attractive, and applicable in a...

Normally, I scoff at the designation "one-man band" because it sounds an awful lot like a cheap marketing maneuver, but listening to Scott H. Biram gives me pause. Recognizing that critics have said as much before about his work, I'll say it again: Scott H. Biram (and this includes Nothin' But Blood) sounds more like a demented mixtape of Doc Watson, Mance Lipscomb, and a couple of Slayer demos than a single man. Oh, and most of it sounds like it was recorded coming over a car radio...

Release Date: Feb. 5, 2014 Talk about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Nothin' but Blood, the latest album from crass cowboy Scott H. Biram is a lopsided effort with some of the best songs Biram has ever written and some of the absolute worst. The album opens with the meandering vagabond anthem "Slow & Easy," a rustic mid-tempo cut that defines Biram to a T: confident, deftly executed and inviting...

Scott H. Biram is known for two things--being one of the few successful one man bands and his fusion of blues, punk and traditional country. It is the latter that comes to the front of his latest album Nothing but Blood. After fourteen years and nearly as many albums, it is a formula that is starting to wear thin. Biram saves himself with strong, evocating songwriting and clever selection in his choice of cover songs...

He might be a one man band but blues/country roots rocker Scott Biram has enough of the devil in him to sound like a full group playing in hell. He's not shy about it either, tossing "f" bombs while recounting various sexual adventures in Mance Lipscomb's "Alcohol Blues" and rocking out about "Church Point Girls" with a demonish, snarling growl that would send Howlin' Wolf running for cover...

Scott H. Biram -- Nothin' But Blood (Bloodshot)
The cover to Scott H. Biram's Nothin' But Blood shows the Austin blues-rocker hip-deep in a bloody lake, his head thrown back in some sort of quasi-mystic transport, his shirt open, his tattooed arms dripping with crimson fluid. It's part baptism narrative, part noire-ish crime scene and altogether unsettling, a fitting image for this one-man phenomenon's furious juxtaposition of religiosity and raunch...

Tweet There's a Mosh Pit at the Ho-Down Scott H. Biram- here's a guy that knows how awesome he is and doesn't give a flyin' hoot about what anyone else says otherwise. The Dirty Old One Man Band is back, following his 2011 release of Bad Ingredients with Nothin' but Blood. As expected, it covers the gamut of traditional country/blues songs, such as "Slow & Easy" and "Gotta Get to Heaven," both of which have that home-style acoustic country singer, as well as his signature punk/metal blend...
