Ruby Vroom (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ruby Vroom was Soul Coughing's 1994 debut album. The album's sound is a mixture of sample-based tunes (loops of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" on "Bus to Beelzebub," Toots the Maytals, Howlin' Wolf, The Andrews Sisters, and The Roches on "Down To This," and a loop of sampler player Mark De Gli Antoni's orchestral horns on "Screenwriters Blues" among others), guitar based tunes like "Janine," "Moon Sammy," and "Supra Genius." and jazzy, upright-bass-fueled songs that often slyly quoted other material--the theme from "Courageous Cat" on "Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago," Thelonious Monk's "Misterioso" on "Casiotone Nation," and Bobby McFerrin's cover of Joan Armatrading's "Opportunity" on "Uh, Zoom Zip."
