Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers

Hailing from Las Vegas, Johnny Ruiz and the Escapers offer up two sides of the haunting group sounds, sure to scratch the itch of doo-wop and soul enthusiasts alike.

Adorning the a-side is ‘Sorry’, a stark, creeping, dirge like ballad with a sparse rhythm track that swings eerily underneath Johnny’s sublime lead and the Escapers plaintive harmonies, creating a hypnotic vibe that will have you dropping the needle over and over again.

Continuing with the dark vibes but picking up the pace a couple of BPMs, ‘The Prettiest Girl’ brings a measure of hopefulness to the tune, evoking the earnest, lovelorn memories of youth. A must for fans of Nolan Strong and the Diablos Fortune Records output.
