Hot Rod Deluxe

Hot Rod Deluxe is the second album released by Ruby Joe. This effort was produced by Billy Zoom (of X) and joined by the horn section of Royal Crown Revue, including Bill Ungerman, Mando Dorame, and Scotty Steen.[4] Musically the album shifts from the rockabilly roots of the debut toward swing revival. This release is generally considered to be their better effort,[1] more focused than their debut. The lyrics also shift in attitude from their first album; on Hot Rod Deluxe it became "easier to see the biblical point" that is being made.[2] The liner notes also contain the direct references for each song.[3][5]

gollark: Visit osmarks.tk, so I can somewhat obsessively analyze your traffic™.
gollark: And someone on something which... inconclusively looks like Safari and Chrome on an Android device, but is also seemingly an actual browser... visited SPUDNET, but didn't log in.
gollark: This is immensely bizarre. Someone is visiting osmarks.tk with what looks like (based on user agent & traffic patterns) to be an actual browser, from the USA.
gollark: I will add it to your psychological profile.
gollark: How odd.
