Bryan Martin's "Self Inflicted Scars" is the second full-length album from this Cherokee Indigenous American country artist. Released in 2022, it is a 12-track collection that delves into his experiences as a "roughneck" on Louisiana oil rigs and the challenges he's faced alongside the triumphs he's celebrated. The album blends traditional country with influences of southern rock and outlaw country, showcasing Martin's versatility as a songwriter and performer.

"Self Inflicted Scars" is a title that speaks volumes about Martin's journey, reflecting on his battles with life's hardships, heartbreak, and ultimately, finding redemption. Songs like "Beauty in the Struggle" and "Everyone's An Outlaw" have garnered significant attention, with "Beauty in the Struggle" even going viral on TikTok and amassing millions of streams on Spotify. These tracks, along with the rest of the album, demonstrate Martin's talent for crafting catchy melodies and lyrics that connect with listeners on a human level.

Martin's storytelling throughout the album is raw and honest — a testament to his enduring spirit and the healing power of music. This isn't just a country album; it resonates with anyone who has faced adversity and come out stronger on the other side. - Ellis
