The artists selected for this brief trawl through the recorded history of Country yodelling go back to the days before the word 'Country' had been accepted as a description of the music. If it had a name, it was described as rural, folk or old-time music, the sophisticates of New York and other large conurbations dismissed it as 'hill-billy'. Whatever the appellation, its appeal was widespread, and not just across the vast heartland of America, it was the music of the people, from the people, something that the mass of ordinary people could directly relate to in its sincerity, social comment or humour.
