Scott H. Biram -
Graveyard Shift (2006)
I've been on a bit of a country kick lately since the release of Corb Lund's
Cabin Fever and decided to try and listen to more of the musicians I found when I was really plugging the Gothic Country stuff. One of the musicians I found back in '09 is Scott H. Biram, and his interesting lo-fi sounding old school country. This has more in common with someone like Steve Earle with a big mix of Hank III and it's definitely a grab-bag of styles. Drugs are definitely a recurring theme, with the song "Reefer Load" about a drug smuggling trucker. He may be a little too raw for people more accustomed to the pop country stuff, but if you're a fan of the old favorites you should definitely check this guy out, I think you'll find a lot to like.
