I finally found it!!!

A few years ago, I bought a CD by the band Big Fat Jam. By the time I heard of this band, they had already called it quits. I managed to track down their singer and emailed with him for a while. I wanted to know if they had any earlier releases. He said that they did, but even he no longer had a copy. I had given up ever finding anything else by this great band.

Well, one of the guys on CMR told me that someone had it for sale on Amazon. I hopped over there, and sure enough, there it was! Needless to say, I bought the cheapest one on there, but there were 3 more copies up for grabs.

If you've never heard, or heard of, Big Fat Jam, then you are missing out. They were a rock band infusing blues, funk, and maybe a little southern rock. Just imagine something similar to the secular band the Black Crowes.

2 left now

Someone else needs to score these. They won't be around forever.

Naz, let me know when you get the first Amos CD and what you think of it, okay?

From the sound clips I found, it is very prog rock sounding. It is a concept album, but since I really love prog rock, that won't be a problem for me. I think they got a little edgier on the second one.

Where I can listen to samples how Big Fat Jam sounds?

I LOVE the Black Crowes (actually met 'em after a show in Detroit a few years back).... is there a place where I can hear sound samples of Big Fat Jam?

Ok, I've read some more reviews and I'm sure I'll like these guys... I just ordered the s/t (the one alldat was talking about above) and the Welcome to Wonderland discs... can't wait to get 'em!

There are still 2 more of the S/T on amazon, and the Welcome to Wonderland is selling used for under a buck! Mine was $.02 plus $2.98 shipping...

Humph. Here I thought you found your missing parts so you were a complete idiot now.

After having my gall bladder removed, I'll never be a complete idiot again!

Here is a link to sound samples....

Also ebay has a mega rare CD single from the album!

Don't worry alldat, even with no gall bladder you are still idiot enough to hang with us (especially topshot).

All I can say about the self-titled Big Fat Jam CD is this: I love it! Ok, three of the songs on it are repeated on their "Welcome To Wonderland" CD, but the arrangements are a bit different on this demo CD. Actually, even though the mix is a bit rougher, it works better for them than their label debut. This sounds like it could be a really great sound in a smoky club somewhere. Very raw and honest.

Only ONE left on Amazon, by the way!

The Big Fat Jam song I listened very good.

You already received your S/T? That was very quick. I am looking forward to getting it. I also have a promo disc for Welcome to Wonderland and it has a different name for one of the songs, which was apparently re-named on the official release. I can't tell if there are any differences on the mixes or not though.
