The Hillbilly Moon Explosion The Sparky Sessions

A complete album of duets with Mark 'Sparky' Phillips of Demented Are Go. The Hillbilly Moon Explosion are a modern rock'n'roll band. With many albums under their belt, they've toured 27 countries with their authentic take on the roots of the wide genre of rock. They comprise two Englishmen abroad - Oliver Baroni, double bass & vocals, and Duncan James, guitar; a French drummer Sylvain Pettitte, and their captivating Italian/Swiss chanteuse, Emanuela Hutter. Sparky Phillips is the singer of Demented Are Go, the Welsh rockabilly band who created a storm back in the '80's. The band's exploits during a USA tour are wee-documented on their Wikipedia page. Oliver Baroni was a fan and asked Sparky to duet with Emanuela on 'My Love For Evermore', thinking his voice would make a nice contrast. The public agreed, giving the video over 20 million views, plus many millions more for streaming and follow-up videos. Building on their live performances, they've become an online and vinyl phenomenon - the duets with Sparky Phillips being particularly popular with tens of millions of YouTube views. This entire album of duets with the Welsh Tom Waits includes 'Jackson', 'Queen of Hearts' and the 'My Love for Evermore' vinyl and video hit (also available as a 7 single). Seven new tracks are added to the previous Sparky collaborations. The Hillbilly Moon Explosion toured the USA in 2018, 2019 (ending at the 'Viva Las Vegas' rockabilly festival) and again in 2024.
