Beats the hell out out of Journeys best.

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

In point of fact, "Black Betty" is an allegorical homage to Dante's Inferno and his mythical descent into the depravity of sexual abandon. Not unlike Billy the Exterminator, if you would. Nevertheless it works for me on several levels. The crescendo of adroit zither work makes me soil myself. Oh my!

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

How does a one-hit-wonder band have a greatest hits album?

Who knew a song about heroin could be so good?

@ Kiwi816 - Hopefully you are joking because Spiderbait is an Australian band who covered Black Betty. Look it up before you bash a group. Pay $1.29 for the original (better) song or .99 cents for the cover (also an ok version). Either way enjoy the song and don't be a douche.

Whaaa...this is the greats song ever!!!! They should charge 10 bucks for it and i would buy it. Way to go Apple!!!

This a super good song who ever likes the spider bait one has no like of music and I'm not that old

Many people have told me that Black Betty is the only good song that Ram Jam had. That is my favorite of thiers, but the other stuff I think is good as well.

I'm only 10,and my dad and I LOVE this song

dude..awshome

Black Betty!!

Does anyone like anything besides Black Betty? I like the song but from what I gather thats all people buy.

ok so this is possibly one of the best songs to get you pumped up for something.dont you agree?i do.one question though.does anyone know who or what black betty is or is that just totally random.

Come on, ripping off spiderbait????!!! If u like black Betty try the spiderbait one, the original and the best. It is also 99 cents so why waste a dollar twenty nine for a fake song???

good name great music

Black Betty is "THE" main song on here!! But I have found that they're a lot of others on here that I like as well. You have to like/love Southern Rock to understand the joy!! Rock On YA'LL!!!!

Whoa Black Betty Bam Ba Lam! This song is great but I don't like any on the others. Black Betty is worth .99

Black Betty is one of the greatest southern rock songs ever. Get It.

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"!

This song played in the Backround Of TMNT

black betty is the at bat theme for ian kinsler of the texas ranger!!!! :)

My music teacher Jimmy Santoro was the gaitar player in Ram Jam no joke

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!!!

Nestled within this very strange mix is one of the ALL time greats not to be missed: Black Betty by Bill Bartlett. Although very loosley based on Ledbetter it is ALL his creation and one of the greatest and original rockin tunes ever made. Its 5 star, doesnt get any better. High Steppin is also highly recomended.

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

Is she really black.....is it really a girl

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

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!

its awsom , but i CANT BUY IT!!! whats up with that.

Pretty good

One of my favorite albums that was ruined by the hot Arizona sun. Thank God it has been re-released.

Evan better than the spider bate one!!!!!!!

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.

Great guitar and awesome music.

Truth be told, i actually thought black betty was a girl at first. Oh, and what kiwi816 said is a load of fanboy BS. Ram jam did the original and the best. Spiderbait's version is just noise. They litterally drown out their own singer's voice with their guitars

I love this music. The album is good. Creative name.

This song is very cool I love the beat.but I don't like how it changes beats so much but is cool so I give it 4 stars

A friend of mine had Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Ram back in the 70s but I never could find it until this collection. I had always thought it better than the first album with the exception of Black Betty. When I saw this collection had the whole Portrait album on it I jumped at the chance to purchase it. I had not heard it for a good 30 years and was not disappointed. I was just as good as I remember, especially Turnpike. Well worth the purchase. Thanks, iTunes for bringing back some good memories.

Frankly, all I remember from these guys was the Leadbelly cover-version "Black Betty" -which for some strange reason the rock press dubbed "Punk Rock" when it was clearly Southern Rock!- while the rest is just a blank. At the time, I hated "Black Betty" (and although I love Leadbelly, I wasn't too fond of his original either), I grew to almost appreciate their cover later on. But one middle-of-the-road-to-passable cover version of an old Blues song does not a career make. Can't really reccomend the album, therefore. If you want an at-times interesting version of a Leadbelly song, just download "Black Betty" and don't bother with the rest...

Have you noticed the TOP songs on itunes, just aren't all that Great? & Now I see "the very best" and this is what I get! This should be $ .10 everyday!

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.
