The frantic 1977 smash hit "Black Betty" by Ram Jam was a cover of a Leadbelly prison work song -- the bleusman told John Lomax the "Bambalam" simulated the prisoner's axes hitting trees, and Black Betty was the foreman's whip (or maybe the prison wagon).

James Booker - Classified Vinyl Record (New, 2-LP)

Description
A deeply complex character, Booker only released two studio albums in his lifetime. However, Classified-his unintended swan song-offers one of his greatest commercially-released performances.

Recorded in 1982, it is primarily the result of a whirlwind, four-hour session. In addition to several originals, the album includes a jaunty repertoire of mainly local fare, including Fats Domino's "One for the Highway" and Lloyd Price's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy". Remixed and remastered audio.

Vinyl housed in single-pocket jacket.

Label: Craft Recordings
