To David99, I'm a Ram is most probably the version done by Roy Buchanan. He is a Blues/Rock artist, and has done this song on at least two releases. One is from 1975, On Polydor #2391152, and the other is a newer (1992) anthology. The song is originally an Al Green song, but his version is more "funk" or "soul" than pure Blues. The only other artist that I know of that did this in a Blues/Rock fashion is Five Hundred Pounds, titled "Big Daddy." My vote, based on your description is the Roy Buchanan version. The 1975 would be available on LP, the 1992 version could be possibly either.
Snook2. Good call on the ECM's in my opinion. I have a entire shelf of ECM artists. In my earlier posing I mentioned Steve Tibbitts (I am a big fan), and most of his work is on ECM. Should also mention the following artists or groups: Oregon, Don Cherry, Carla Bley, Charlie Haden, and Pat Metheney and Keith Jarrett. All of these have excellent work on ECM, most of it can still be found on LP. There is also a web site for ECM Germany, and they will ship to the USA.
Albert,The 1975 Buchanan L.P. is called "LIVE STOCK" F.Y.I. Thanks for the lead!
Tibbetts is still one of the most inspiring artist over the last 20 years. THe label (innovative communications)owned by Klaus Schulze had great stuff along with his material. ECM has a website but I forgot how to get to it.
