Howdy Y'all, released in 2021 on FiddleFeet Records, is fiddler and buck dancer Hillary Klug's second album. Klug plays fiddle and sings while buck-dancing live on several tracks, backed by guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and bouzouki on a set that draws on Middle Tennessee tradition with Celtic, Americana, bluegrass, and folk threads. The repertoire mixes Klug originals with chestnuts — "Oh! Susanna," "Shady Grove," "Pretty Polly," "Cotton Eyed Joe." The record reached No. 3 on Billboard's Bluegrass chart on the strength of Klug's viral "Dancing Fiddler" videos, one clip topping sixty-four million views, and Klug herself is a two-time National Buck Dancing Champion — an unusual route into the bluegrass charts that came almost entirely through visual social media.
