Every time I listen to Nanci Griffith singing that cowboy song “Night Rider’s Lament” I get goosebumps when the yodeller kicks in following the lyrics
They’ve never seen the northern lights
Never seen a hawk on the wing
Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide
Oh, they’ve never heard old
Camp Cookie sing<brief yodelling sequence>
….
Why doesn’t the radio have more yodelling?
I’m waiting for yodelling to experience a resurgence in popularity.
Meanwhile here is a YouTube clip with Johnny Cash and Louis Armstrong yodelling the blues.
