This is a cover of Dee Dee Ramone song "Baby Doll", from his "Standing in the Spotlight" album, his rap album. This is not rap.

I recorded this with my wife Sharon Woods, it goes under her pseudonym Ruby Bane.

One reason to record this was to share with Vera Ramone, as I just finished her book "Poisoned Heart"  and this song was written for her.

This is a rework of Vatican Shotgun Scare song Tuesday. This was originally written by Paul  Heaney of Vatican Shotgun Scare. This was a bit of fun for SALT to do.

Surf is timeless.

Tuesday by SALT

SALT feature members out of two bands from the late 80s’, the majestic pop band “The Ruby Suit” and the noisy punk band “Vatican Shotgun Scare”. 

Recently supported Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade) on her recent tour and played at Edinburgh's prestigious Fresh Produce event.

SALT have an emotional intensity using a wide variety of influences. Powerful, broody, eclectic and dark. Like Nick Cave meets the Fall meets Blondie. Grungey guitars, powerful bass and exhilarating drums backup an emotional eclectic vocal that entices you into the fairytale on fire that is SALT. 

They have just released their debut album called “Kicking Back the Guilt”, and currently half way through the next album. 

Daring to be vulnerable and confident enough to crush your soul.
