Ram Jam - Ram Jam (1977) - Lp

Ram Jam was the debut studio album released by Ram Jam in 1977. Ram Jam was an American rock band formed in New York in 1977, prominently known for their hit single "Black Betty" in 1977.
The first track on the album, the single "Black Betty", is Ram Jam's best known song. It went to #7 on the UK singles chart in September 1977. 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. The one real downside here is that it suffers from a samey production style that makes the songs run together on first listen. Despite this problem, all the songs on Ram Jam presents a sturdy blend of guitar fireworks and pop hooks that any hardcore fan of 1970s hard rock will enjoy.
