This is the album youve been waiting to hear from renowned fiddler and founding member of the hillbilly riot band, The Wilders! High Moon Order evolves from the raw, straightforward approach of Betses previous solo work to a sound thats uncommonly complex and captivating. While a number of traditional songs and tunes appear on the record, imprinted with Betses own personal style and delivery, her sophomore effort consists primarily of original compositions. But what perhaps makes High Moon Order so distinct is its ability to surprise. One moment she wails out gritty words atop a screaming fiddle and drums, the next she quietly confesses over the strum of a tenor guitar. This album pushes the boundaries of how folk music can be understood and transformed in the modern age. The album features 13 tracks which include acoustic traditional and original fiddle tunes, new, sonically rich songs featuring full electric band, a couple of fiery punk-infused numbers, and even a rousing cover of The Clashs Straight to Hell, High Moon Order will wow any fan of folk, old-time, Americana and beyond.
