Hot on the boot spurred heels of Dale Watson\u2019s incredible duet with Nashville royalty Lorrie Morgan on a new version of the Merle Haggard classic \u201cI\u2019ve Always Been Crazy,\u201d Watson today unleashes another superb duet from his upcoming\u00a0Jukebox Fury<\/em>\u00a0album, this time featuring the rockabilly stylings of the Zurich-based outfit The Hillbilly Moon Explosion. This international, cross-cultural collaboration has resulted in a scintillating new version of the all-time favorite \u201cAct Naturally,\u201d originally released in 1963 by Buck Owens and later famously covered by The Beatles on their 1965 album\u00a0Help!<\/em>.

Watson\u2019s rendition adheres faithfully to the original\u2019s feel but producer Danny B. Harvey amps up the energy with his slinky Telecaster that walks up and down the fret board enhancing Watson\u2019s vocals. But the magic really kicks in when Hillbilly vocalist Emanuela Hutter takes over the second verse and then harmonizes effortlessly with Watson on the song\u2019s chorus. It\u2019s a true highlight that both Owens and The Beatles could not help but appreciate.

As Harvey puts it, \u201cIn the same way Dale Watson has painstaking stayed true to his outlaw country \/ traditional roots and helped kept that music alive around the world, The Hillbilly Moon Explosion has kept Rockabilly \/ Psychobilly \/ Rock\u2019nRoll fresh and exciting for a few decades now. This is my second opportunity to produce Emanuela Hutter, who needs no production by the way, and as before the performances she and Oliver Baroni delivered on this record are amazing. Dale Watson & The Hillbilly Moon Explosion, is a match made in heaven on The Lonesome Highway to Hell.\u201d
