Decade after decade, Larry Sparks continues to refine his style and add to his catalog. New Moon Over My Shoulder, marking a half-century since starting his own band, ranks among his best. Ron Stewart’s banjo powers the energetic opener “Down in Union County,” while Sparks explores the emotion in Gary Ferguson’s “I’m Really Leaving.” Most memorable, Larry full embraces the title song, the Jimmie Davis and Tex Ritter hit, both adapting the song to his style and his style to the song. Another high-level release from an artist who never quite seems to receive the acclaim he deserves.
