Lesson plan
Ruby Joe
Ruby Joe was a Christian band from Ventura, California. Their debut album was cited as psychobilly, but their second played squarely as swing revival due to the appearance of the horn section of Royal Crown Revue. Both were released on Sub•Lime Records, in 1998 and 1999. The band's name is a combination of the founder's name and that of Ruby's Diner in Huntington Beach, where the band was formed.
