Artist:  Ram Jam

Title:  Ram Jam

Date:  1977

Label:  Epic Records   PE 34885

Art Direction:  Robert Biro

Cover Art:  Stanislaw Zagorski

Notes:  The kick off tune "Black Betty" has been heard by many, but the band can be named by few. This is an interesting album leaning toward the 70's jazz/funk branch of the tree. Sports arenas and neighborhood bars is where you're most likely to hear the Ram playing their hit. I don't know if they went on to produce any other recorded matter, but this one is a good listen. The cover art tends toward the progressive or science fiction end of the scale. Very nice.

Line Up:

Peter Charles - Drums
Bill Bartlett - Lead Guitar and Vocals
Howie Blauvelt - Bass and Vocals
Myke Scavone - Vocals and Percussion
