Despite the title, the focus of this release from the
German label Trikont is on American music from the 30’s & 40’s. You
don’t hear yodeling much these days, but apparently it was huge at one
time. The man most responsible for popularizing yodeling in the US,
Jimmie Rodgers, is represented here by a rarity, ‘Standin’ On The
Corner (Blue Yodel #9)’, a collaboration with Lil and Louis Armstrong
on piano and trumpet. Fans of American roots music will be familiar
with a lot of the performers, like The Delmore Brothers, Bill Monroe
and His Bluegrass Boys, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, Roy Rogers,
the Carter Family, and Sons of the Pioneers. Just as much fun, though,
are the selections from artists who are not so well-known today, like
the DeZurik Sisters, Goebel Reeves (the Texas Drifter), Lottie
Kimbrough & Winston Holmes, the Mississippi Shieks, Tampa Red, the
Guidry Brothers and on and on. The selections are all around enjoyable
to hear, from the almost creepy hillbilly lovesick yodeling of J.E.
Mainer’s Mountaineers to the smooth as silk yodeling of Patsy Montana,
making this a worthy collection.
