Hillbilly Moon Explosion 'The Sparky Sessions' CD

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion are a European rockabilly band.

"Mixing up an eclectic blend of Roots Rock and Roll, some Dark Rock, a punk attitude at times with a healthy or should that be unhealthy dose of Rockabilly and throw in some swing, soul, ska, garage and pop  – I kid you not this really is a melting pot that can go anywhere they like and still come out sounding cohesive and well, bloody magic. ... an exceptional record that is one of the finest I’ve heard all year thus far" - RPMonline review.

They’ve become a viral phenomenon, with their ‘My Love For Evermore’ inspiring myriad tattoos, cover versions, 7” pressings and umpteen million Youtube views.

That track was their first duet with Mark ‘Sparky’ Phillips, the wayward singer from Welsh psychobilly band Demented Are Go. His well-worn vocals contrasting with the sultry Emanuela Hutter made the pairing one that had to be repeated on their next two albums.

Now they release a whole album of duets with Sparky, tellingly titled ‘The Sparky Sessions’.

In April 2020 they went on a 11-day US west coast tour, concluding at the renowned ‘Viva Las Vegas’ Rockabilly Festival on April 20.

Sparky however will remain a mystery for Americans. He’s barred from the country after multiple arrests and jail terms during earlier Demented Are Go USA tours. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demented_Are_Go
