Two phrases were on the label with no promo from Epic/CBS on who/what. So, I thought I was holding the new single, "Ram Jam" by Black Betty. "Wow, can't wait to hear what SHE sounds like!" Don't hurt me.

This is a favorite song with the NHL. When the hockey players take the ice to warm up, Black Betty is the song that gets them fired up and ready to play the game. Can you imagine skating to Black Betty? It would be like me playing Aerosmith and driving 100mph down the highway (unknownly) and gaining speed!

It's too bad you guys skipped the lyrics analysis. This song's lyrics are actually an old African-American work song and "Black Betty" can refer to anything from a gun, a whip, to a bottle of whiskey. Gives the song a whole new meaning if looked at in that manner. This is actually a cover song of folk artist Leadbelly's tune.

"Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material; in this case, an 18th-century marching cadence about a flintlock musket, and later in 1800's Colonial America as a bottle of whiskey referred to as Black Betty. The song was eventually, with modified lyrics, revitalized as a rock classic by the American band Ram Jam in 1977.
