New Moon Over My Shoulder is a 2019 Rebel Records album (REB-1870) by Larry Sparks & the Lonesome Ramblers, released to coincide with Sparks's fifth decade leading the band. The lineup features Mike Feagan on fiddle, Ron Stewart on banjo and second fiddle, Matthew Madden on bass, and Evan Wilson on mandolin and harmony vocals. The twelve-track program includes covers of Ralph Stanley's "I Only Exist" and Roy Acuff's "Down in Union County" alongside the Gene Autry-penned title track and new Sparks originals — a range that reflects the breadth of old-school country and bluegrass that Sparks has drawn from throughout a career now spanning more than fifty years of recording and performing with the Lonesome Ramblers.
