Australia had a HUGE yodelling tradition influenced by Jimmie Rogers, Harry Torani, Vernon Dalhart and Hank Snow. The best survey of Aussie yodelling appears on a new compilation I have released via the ABC. It is 'Down the Overlander's Trail' (Double CD, ABC Music Jan 2012). It features our most famous pioneer yodellers up 'till 1955. Most were radio or tent show artists like Tex Morton, Reg Lindsay, Shirley Thoms and the Two Barnstormers. The CD comes with comprehensive booklet notes but if you download the album from iTunes (it is under my name or album title) I am happy to send you an email of the PDF booklet. Make sure you yodel along.
