Introduced Ridley Bent as one of Canadian music's most distinctive storytellers, combining the narrative traditions of country and folk with hip-hop beats, funk, scratching and hard-edged rock. Produced by Chin Injeti and released by MapleMusic Recordings in 2005, the album collected five years of Bent's story songs into a strange, cinematic world of outlaws, drifters, criminals, lovers and assorted characters living somewhere between pulp fiction and a country song. Bent dubbed the sound \"hick-hop,\" but Blam! #was ultimately less about genre collision than storytelling, songs like \"Suicidewinder,\" \"David Harley's Son\" and \"In the Trunk of a Black Lexus\" unfolding like miniature movies, delivered in Bent's unmistakable country-and-western talk-sing. The album established the approach to character, narrative and dark humour that would remain central to his songwriting even as his later records moved more firmly toward country music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album track listing has been modified for vinyl.
