Thread Name: Who is your favourite yodeller?
Subject: RE: Who is your favourite yodeller?
The Dezurik Sisters, the amazing Yodelin' Slim Clark, and the Girls of the Golden West, with a special mention of Elton Britt, not for "Chime Bells," which is great, but for "Cowpoke," which is better.

No account of yodeling would be complete, either, without the ultra-mellow duo and trio yodeling of the hugely talented *original* Sons of the Pioneers of the 1930s.

And for easy, slow and spine-shivering, the blues singer Tommy Johnson (especially "Cool Drink of Water Blues") and the man who learned from that style, Jimmie Rodgers and his blue yodels. Not all yodels need to be athletic to qualify!
