Good reinterpretation of Lead Belly’s song. I just hope his family got paid for this👍🏿

Is keep ur hands on the wheel The Rolling Stones??? It sounds like mick jagger. Anyways Woah oh black Betty bamb o lam!!!

The "very best" of Ram Jam? Actually, this is ALL the songs on their two albums. Their only real hit was "Black Betty", of course, but the rest of their material is pretty good. A couple of interesting things about these songs: Their song "Too Bad On Your Birthday" was covered by Joan Jett on her first album. There are TWO songs here that rhyme "Boston" with "Austin"!

Still a great album!!! Listen to it almost everyday!

Even taking "Black Betty" out of the evaluation. You have 5 of the greatest hard rock songs of all time on this collection! They are: "Gone Wild", "Pretty Poison", "Hurrican Ride", "Just Like Me", and "Turnpike". These tracks are all their hard-to-find, oft neglected 2nd album, "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram", which comprises the 2nd half of this collection. People that bought their 1st album, "Ram Jam" specifically for "Black Betty" likely figured they were a one hit wonder because the rest of that album is sub par. Not the case! Buy this for the previusly mentioned 5 songs alone! If you are at all into classic 70s hardrock, you will not be disappointed!!!

Black Betty!!

Good not great Southern hard rock, a lost classic if you like bands like Angel, Blackfoot, Goddo, Moxy or Legs Diamond. I wish my local radio stations had played this back in the day instead of that disco crap.

My uncle was peter charles and he was the original drummer in Ram Jam and he sadly to see is no longer with us but I am glad to see his memory will live on with Ram Jam.

I LOVE BLACK BETTY!!!!! Great song ! This is coming from a 11 year old!

This album is just classic southern rock, Black Betty is one of my favorite songs, but check out the others, like Keep Your Hands On The Wheel, one of the most underrated songs ever. The reason most people only like Black Betty is because their is a different singer on the rest of their songs. Bill Bartlett sings on Black Betty, Myke Scavone sings on the rest. Great album either way!
