Goose Bumps by Emanuela Hutter
Over more than a quarter century, Emanuela Hutter, lead vocalist of the acclaimed Swiss Rock'n'Roll outfit Hillbilly Moon Explosion, has garnered a cult following across continents. Her distinct vocals reference Italian torch songs and showcase the infectious rawness of the Rock'n'Roll subculture. Goose Bumps is Hutter’s second solo release and was produced by Hi-Style Records’s Jimmy Sutton (JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge, The Bellfuries). Sutton assembled an all star cast of musicians, including Alex Hall (engineer, drums) and Joel Paterson (guitar). Almost all recording was done live at the analog Hi-Style studio in Chicago. Bonafide contemporary rock star JD McPherson wrote “Everybody’s Valentine” for Hutter; it could easily find its way into the next Bond film. Emanuela’s influences draw from disparate historical musical threads like doo-wop, German punk, and classic country. From the balladry of “Monday Morning” to the punk-surf rock of “The Voices,” Hutter’s original songwriting shines throughout. Goose Bumps is a must listen for fans of modern rock with a classic twist.
