Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

From the Sleaze-Meister himself:
So I just got back from Davenport, IA playing at the River Roots Live Festival with The Black Crowes, The Gourds, Alejandro Escovedo, and 12 other acts on Saturday. We had alot of fun out there!

Keep your TVs tuned to NBC on November 2nd for “My Name is Earl”.
SHB original song “Blood, Sweat and Murder” will be used on the show.
Some other good news is that I’ll be playing with Clutch, and The Sword
in Sayreville, New Jersey at Starland Ballroom on Dec. 29th!!
Clutch and I have been trying to make something happen for over a year now.
They want to tour with me, but our schedules keep clashing. IT WILL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY!!
 
For now you can see us together on Dec. 29th in Sayreville, New Jersey!
Don’t forget about SHB and Nashville Pussy on October 24th either!
I’ll also be playing, both the Bloodshot Showcase, and The Billions Showcase at CMJ Music Fest in NYC this November. We are building an entire East Coast November tour around this so check the schedule below, and check www.scottbiram.com for updates on the tour schedule. Also, The Shack Shakers and I are working on a New Year’s Eve Show in Chicago, but this is not yet confirmed.

I’ll keep you posted and hopefully we can all spend NYE together.

Johnny Cash’s San Quentin Reissued, Expanded

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

A nice announcement on Pitchfork – Columbia/Legacy will reissue Johnny Cash’s first chart-topping album– the live Johnny Cash at San Quentin– on November 14 as a three-disc (two CDs and one DVD) set, along with plenty of previously unreleased extras.

The 2000 remastered version of the 1969 LP expanded the original’s tracklist from 10 to 18 tracks, but this release will transcend both by including 13 previously unreleased performances from Cash and his entire ensemble, which included his wife June Carter Cash, the Carter Family, Carl Perkins, and the Statler Brothers.

Heartworn Highways Review

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Heartworn Highways is a documentary by the late Parisian James Szalapski, A then private dealer in twentieth century art, Szalapski was looking for something interesting to do with his hand-held home movie camera during an industry lull. It is also a restored and forgotten treasure re-released as a CD and this stellar DVD.

Originally a 1975 theatrical release, Szalapski was introduced by a group of up and coming “new country” renegades then taking the outlaw reins from the likes of Willie and Waylon.

Texans Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell and a young, skinny, and almost unrecognizable Steve Earle are all here. Guy Clark does a great version of his “L.A. “Freeway” and a mouth-watering version of “Texas Cookin.’ and Van Zandt brings a neighbor to tears with an impromptu rendition of “Waiting Around to Die.”

Other, mostly now forgotten performers like steel player Barefoot Jerry and comic performers like Gamble Rogers (who on October 10, 1991 trying to save a drowning stranger) sings the “Black Label Blues” while footage of a conveyer belt at Jack Danial’s distillery is shown, in case you didn’t get the reference. Larry Jon Wilson laying tracks for his own “Ohoopee River Bottomland” are all bona fide pleasure.

Davis Allen Coe is shown driving a tour bus and yakking it up on the CB Radio as well as playing a show at a prison adorned like a spangled Hillbilly Liberace. He may be crazy but he’s a great entertainer!

As I said before, the quality of the film is low quality bit actually adds to the DIY flavor of the conversations and music. The extensive extra’s include Guy Clark playing “Desperadoes Waiting For A Train,” “Country Morning Breeze” and “Old Flynn’s Boat.” Townes Van Zandt’s “Pancho and Lefty.” John Hiatt’s “One For The One.” Steve Earle’s “Darling Commit Me” and “Mercenary Song” Rodney Crowell’s “Young Girl’s Hungry Smile” and Steve Young covering “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.”

If you’re not a fan of this music and these guys the movie might be boring and plodding for you. There’s not much here aside from great music and a brief, intimate portrayal of the men that created it.
