KURZBESCHREIBUNG
• Audiophiles 180 Gramm Vinyl • Inkl. der Hit-Single Black Betty Ram Jam war eine US-amerikanische Rockband aus New York City, die wohl jedem durch den Mega-Hit Black Betty ein Begriff sein dürfte. Der Song wurde nicht ohne Grund als Track 1 für das self titled Debüt-Album ausgewählt. Black Betty erreichte trotz einiger Kontroversen bezüglich des Song-Textes im September 1977 Platz 7 der britischen Single-Charts und eroberte diverse Top 10 Charts rund um den Globus. Weitere Highlights des Albums sind Keep Your Hands on the Wheel , ein stampfend-treibender Rock-Song im Stil von Bachman-Turner Overdrive oder Too Bad on Your Birthday, welches im Rahmen eines Mitsing-Refrains einer späteren Joan Jett Nummer wiederbelebt wurde. Die Band gründete sich im Jahr 1977 und bestand aus Bill Bartlett (Gitarre), Howie Arthur Blauvelt (Bass), Pete Charles (Schlagzeug) und Myke Scavone (Gesang).
BIOGRAPHIE DER MITWIRKENDEN
Ram Jam was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1977. The band consisted of Bill Bartlett (guitar), Howie Arthur Blauvelt (bass), Pete Charles (drums), and Myke Scavone (lead vocals). Their debut album 'Ram Jam' was also released in 1977. The first track on the album, the single 'Black Betty', is Ram Jam's best known song. Despite some controversy due to the lyrics of the song, it went to #7 on the UK singles chart in September 1977 and reached the top 10 in charts around the globe. Other highlights of the album are 'Keep Your Hands on the Wheel', a stomping, driving-themed rocker in the vein of Bachman Turner Overdrive, and 'Overloaded', a swinging rocker built on a taut bass-line and a catchy, cowbell-driven chorus. The album also features 'Too Bad on Your Birthday', a mid-tempo rocker with a sing-along chorus that was later revived by Joan Jett. Tracklist: Side A: 1. Black Betty 2. Let It All Out 3.
