About

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram achieved little success, despite the addition of talented Long Island, New York lead guitarist Jimmy Santoro. The “Portrait” album was re-issued on Rock Candy Records from England in 2006. Now considered a five star cult classic on par with Aerosmith, Starz, and Ted Nugent. The second album is a hard rockin’ heavy metal collector’s favorite. Listed in the Top 100 lists in Martin Popoff’s book “The Collector’s Guide to Heavy Metal Volume 1: The Seventies.” The album’s heaviness was attributed to Santoro’s guitar and Scavone’s vocal power. Bartlett had left the group by then and didn’t play on the album.
