We’re interrupting out Best of Countdown and festive tune postings to share the news that Scott H. Biram will release a new album, his tenth overall, entitled The Bad Testament, via Bloodshot Records on 24th February 24.

It his first release since 2014’s Nothin’ But Blood and lands somewhere west of the Old Testament and south of the AA handbook, straddling the chasm between sin and redemption. It’s a record of hard-grinding lost love, blues and deep, dark Americana.

Just the sort of thing we like! Stream Long Old Time from the album.
