5.0 out of 5 stars Both of their LPs on 1 CD!!, March 18, 2005
By Nom DePlume "rockin' since birth" (On top of the world!!!) - See all my reviews
Ram Jam were a very hard rocking 70's band fronted by Bill Bartlett, formerly of the Lemon Pipers (yeah, the Green Tambourine guys). The albums were produced by bubblegum producers Kasentetz-Katz (same guys who produced Lemon Pipers, 1910 Fruitgum Co. and a lot of other 60s hits). But the Ram Jam albums really rocked hard (especially the lesser known 2nd album titled Portrait of the Young Artist as a Ram). Black Betty was a top 40 hit (a remake of an old Leadbelly song)and was fairly representative of their 1st LP. If all you've ever heard is the single version, which is on most compilations, you owe it to yourself to hear the full version which has a much longer middle section that rocks. This import CD contains both LPs and has everything released by this band except Should've Known Better, which was the B side to the Black Betty single. Great very underrated stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Black Betty Ready, November 9, 2005
By Mike Iman (Santa Maria, CA) - See all my reviews
The song "Black Betty" is reason enough to buy this CD. It contains the long-play version of this song..crank it up so the neighbors can give you dirty looks. As for the other tracks they are just ok. But Black Betty makes it worth the investment. Rocked in '77, rocks now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ram Jamz, December 12, 2003
What a great CD! Their first 2 albums on 1 disc. The classic Black Betty rocks! Every song on this CD is hard rockin' at it's best. Tell you the truth, I didn't know they had a second album release until I bought this. If you like rock 'n' roll,then buy this CD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but Black Betty
I love the song Black Betty. I took a chance on Ram Jam's Greatest Hits, hoping there would be some unknown gem on it. But sadly, there isn't.

Other than "Black Betty", just some mediocre southern rock. But worth it just for that.
