Synopsis

Product Description

Renowned fiddler Betse Ellis, a founding member of 'hillbilly riot' band The Wilders, is sure to impress you with her musical versatility on her debut solo album, Dont You Want to Go. Her unique approach to American traditional music is presented in a host of different musical styles, ranging from stunning tributes to Ozark elders in fiddle tunes and song (Bear Creek Sally Goodin), electrifying vocals on blues standards (Looking the World Over), original high-energy old-time fiddle tunes (Run!), and epic, lushly orchestrated original songs with string sections arranged and performed by Ellis herself (Another Night Gone, Dont You Want to Go). In the move from band member to band leader, Ellis confirms that she is indeed one of the most multitalented musicians on the old-time & alt.country music scenes.
