Yesterday, the CD I ordered arrived in the mail.

It is up and coming musician Hillary Klug's "Howdy Y'All", a collection of her favorite traditional songs inspired by her upbringing in the old-time musical heritage in Middle Tennessee.

It is a very pleasant album of songs such as "Old Suzanna", "Cotton Eyed Joe", "Allie Cat" and others. I listened to it following my Jeep jaunt in Six Mile Canyon yesterday.

Besides being a singer, she is a top-notch fiddle (violin, for those in Rio Linda) player and buck dancer.

She has appeared on the Mike Huckabee Show on Fox.

She is definitely a rising star in the music scene.

Here's a video of her version of "Oh Susanna":
