RECOVERY RECORDINGS RELEASES NEW LOS VERTIGOS SINGLE “DIDDY WAH DIDDY”
Recovery Recordings announces the release (September 15th) of the track, “Diddy Wah Diddy,” a new single by the Houston-based, Roots-Rock/Americana ensemble known as Los Vertigos aka The Vertigos.
Established in 2016, Los Vertigos have been performing for their loyal Texas fans at local bars, night clubs, ice houses, breweries, and festivals where they have been giving their own spin to their Roots-Rock/Americana-flavored music. In 2017, they even performed at a SXSW showcase by invitation of showcase producer “Big Kev” Ploghoft of WLVR-FM in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
In 2019, Recovery Recordings released Los Vertigos’ first EP, Rock and Soul Salvation, in both CD and digital file format, which garnered national attention when it was spun by Genya Ravan of SiriusXM Radio, on Little Steven’s Underground Garage, Channel 21.
The composition, “Diddy Wah Diddy,” penned by Willie Dixon and Ellas McDaniel, was originally recorded by McDaniel aka Bo Diddley in 1956, and was released by Chicago’s Checker Records.
Accompanying Los Vertigos on their new Recovery Recordings single is Houston harmonica ace, Steve Krase (rhymes with ace). When not contributing to the sweetening of tracks by other Houston recording artists, Krase holds down the position of band leader for Houston blues chanteuse and Billboard Blues Album Chart topper, Trudy Lynn.
Los Vertigos discovered the recording of “Diddy Wah Diddy” during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, and made it their mission to learn and arrange the rhythm & blues classic as a testament to a time when our everyday world all but ceased to exist.
Los Vertigos would also like to dedicate their new single from their second EP, Death Came a Knockin’, to the memory to all those who perished from the dreaded Covid-19 Virus during those early, pre-vaccine days of the pandemic.
The new Los Vertigos track, “Diddy Wah Diddy” from their extended EP, Death Came a Knockin’ (released April 2023), is now available on all major (ITunes, Spotify, Amazon, Pandora, Youtube, Deezer) streaming platforms.
Los Vertigos are: Bruce Ross – Lead Vocal & Bass; Bryan Ross- Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar; Mike Swede – Lead Guitar; and Koop Kuper – Drums, Backing Vocals, & Percussion.
