They kinda are a one hit wonder but their second album called Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram is the cream of the crop of late 70's American metal. If any of you folks like your rock hard, this is where to go. Very collectable in the vinyl community!

The backyard live version gives you a much better "experience" of this song IMO. And by the way, this was a Confederate Army marching song that morphed into a southern prison chain gang song, then Lead Belly changed it up just a bit in 1939 to the "modern" version we have now.

Fun facts...this song has multiple entendres... The song written by blues guitarist Lead Belly in 1934 was a take on an old work/chain gang song... Black Betty refers to 1. the bull whip used on slaves 2. Black Betty was the nick name of an American rifle used to counter the Brit's Brown Bess rifle in the revolutionary war..hence, the BAM BA LAM!.. 3. Also refers to a woman 4. Also refers to a bottle of whiskey 😬

Blackbetty is a very old African-American work song of unknown origins... First made "famous" when recorded in 1939 by Blues legend Leadbelly... However it wasn't a hit in America, but later became a huge influence in England and is one of the main reasons people say the Blues had to go to England to finally be recognized and appreciated by America...

@wesalker3479 2 жыл бұрын

First recorded in 1933 by James "Iron Head" Baker at a prison farm in Sugarland Texas. BUT, it's origins trace all of the way back to . . . . . ENGLAND, in the early 1700's, as a drinkin' song in old English pubs. I believe that the lyrics were changed by Redcoat soldiers during the American revolution. The Redcoats left . . . . . the song stayed.

"Black Betty" was Ram Jam's only big hit in 1977. But it is one of the most fun & energetic songs. Just some dudes hanging out in someone's back yard & jamming out. Love it. "Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him.

Well that's life. Some people only have 1 song in them, that's why we call them a 1 HIT WONDER. It's not to say they suck but it is what it is. There are many groups out there like this. On the flip side ... Groups like RUSH & Zeppelin their Catalogs can fill an IPod by themselves.
