Hot Rod Deluxe

This article is about the album of recorded music by Ruby Joe. For the electric guitar amplifier, see Fender 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]
