Emmy Award-winning musician Scot “Little” Bihlman sharpens his storytelling edge with “A Loaded Gun and a Wedding Ring”, the gripping second single from his upcoming album Heavy Head (via V13 Music). It’s a track that brims with tension and swagger, built on the kind of stripped-down intensity that lingers long after the final note fades.
Opening with a sly, keening slide guitar, the song sets its mood like a shadow cast across a deserted back road. Blues, grit, country soul, and garage-rock bite swirl together into a soundscape that’s lean but never sparse, every note and pause feels deliberate, carrying the weight of consequence. Bihlman’s voice, weathered yet resolute, leads the way like a steady hand recounting betrayal and retribution. There’s justice in the air, and you can feel it in every riff and drum hit.
As a standalone single, “A Loaded Gun and a Wedding Ring” distils Bihlman’s ethos, what he calls “motorcycle poetry for truth-seekers.” But it also teases the deeper emotional terrain of Heavy Head, a record set to map the jagged contours of heartbreak, resilience, and hard-won truth.
With a career that has seen him share stages with legends from BB King to Kid Rock, and TV placements from Sons of Anarchy to Burn Notice, Bihlman proves once again he’s an artist who can turn grit into gold. “A Loaded Gun and a Wedding Ring” is both a warning and a promise, minimalist in form, maximalist in impact.
