The frantic 1977 smash hit “Black Betty” by Ram Jam was a cover of a Leadbelly prison work song — the bluesman 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).

The Bluescentric Brand Backstage Monterey Pop Festival Racerback Tank is a premium Next Level brand fabric-laundered 4.2oz triblend 50/25/25 polyester/combed ringspun cotton/rayon racerback tee.

Held in 1967, the Monterey International Pop Music Festival hosted famed performances by Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, The Grateful Dead, The Butterfield Blues Band, Booker T and the MGs.  Almost overnight, many of MPIF's acts became household names.

It was The Who's first U.S. performance, so Pete Townshend smashed his guitar in a famous finale. It was also Jimi Hendrix's American debut. Not to be outdone by Townshend, Hendrix set fire to his guitar "as a sacrifice" at the end of his performance.
