Post a Yodel!

I'm reading a biography of Jimmie Rodgers right now and it got me thinking about the "yodel" in popular music. I love classic country and cowboy music, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite yodels!

 

Increased Chances - Chitlins, Whiskey & Skirt

 

Yodels, Ring Dings, Devil Dogs... all good!

 

I had a feeling this would come up!

 

Sorry, but I had to!

As for actual yodeling, here's some Jewel:

 

Ed Sanders - Yodeling Robot (In Love With Dolly Parton)

 

Actually, this is my favorite example:

The Price Is Right - Cliffhangers Theme

 

Lol haha only took 4 posts

 

My all-time favorite yodeler is Kenny Roberts. Just amazing what he did. Mind blowing what he does on She Taught me to Yodel.

 

Daaaaamn! I had never heard of him. Thanks!

 

Levon Helm and his "wishing I could yodel"

 

" Yodeling Ghost" by Patsy Montana

 

Hocus Pocus - Focus

 

Not sure if this qualifies. Maybe half a yodel?

Howlin Wolf said he got the his howlin' (falsetto) part directly from Jimmie Rodgers yodel though..

 

Carter Burwell - Raising Arizona

 

Love that one! GREAT movie too

 

Yodeling in its purest form comes from the soul and expresses joy, wonder and love. Same as most forms of music!

 

Dolly Parton - Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)

 

Reminder that some have asked for the artist and song title to be provided alongside a Youtube upload in case a posted video is ever taken down or not available to view in one's country.

 

The DeZurik Sisters were pretty awesome.
