​Scott H Biram (from the album Fever Dreams available on Bloodshot Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
The latest from Scott H. Biram finds the at times ‘one-man band’ adding some instrumentation to a handful of cuts, beefing up already meaty cuts of angst and attitude. Fever Dreams is the Texan’s 12thfull-length release, another sonic blast of Country Blues, Punk, Metal, and Screamo Folk that places Biram in the Texas music canon right alongside Lightnin’ Hopkins or Pantera.  The opening Fever Dream title track is subdued with solo guitar, Scott H Biram’s vocal delivered through a CB-radio sound. “Hobo Jungle” slowly picks up the pace, and “Can’t Stay Long” switches gears into Outlaw Country territory. 
Feedback and noise are something Biram uses as a reliable tool not something he needs to hide behind for cover. He can deliver a sad weeper or a hook that sticks as heard in the drunken, sad singalong of “Single Again”, featuring Jese Dayton.  “Whatcha Gonna Do” is driven by gritty riffage and shows off Biram’s metal guitar chops while “Chickens” features classic chicken-pickin’ guitar in a novel, downright humorous food-themed story showcasing the best of Boogie Blues. Scott H Biram dips into gospel territory on “Hallelu” (featuring Jonas Wilson) and the closer “Hallelu (Remix)”, the rawness exhibiting a true fear of god, “Everything Just Slips Away” is a sad ballad and “Can’t Stay Gone (Good Night From the Highway)” another Outlaw Country-cut loaded with Waylon’s country groove. Gospel, Country, Metal, and Punk; it all is born with a base in the Blues, and that’s what Scott H. Biram reminds us know every step of the way in Fever Dream.  (by Bryant Liggett)
