The Alps in Texas?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yodeling Songs Of The Alps (Audio CD)
If you like authentic-sounding European Alpine yodeling, you will absolutely love half of this CD...the second half. It seems that the producers have slipped in 10 cuts of yodeling from below the Mason-Dixon line in these here United States. While I actually enjoy Western yodeling, it has no business being on a CD entitled "Yodeling Songs of the Alps". But the alpine yodeling you do get is marvelous! Have you heard good triple-tone yodeling lately? No? Then you really need to listen to these cuts. Most of the songs are sung in their native language with at least passable accents by their American artists. All the negativisms aside, I like this CD...but I always start at cut #11.

Just change the title,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yodeling Songs Of The Alps (Audio CD)
The title of the CD should be changed to "Alpine Yodeling Songs". (Alpine - a little town in Texas about 200 miles west of Del Rio on Route 90).How can you tell? Sure the references to saddles and such are a clue, but the real dead givaway is the dulcet quavering tones of the steel guitar. Don't get me wrong, I too enjoy western yodeling. It just bothers me that the first 10 tracks are most definitely NOT from Switzerland or Germany no matter what the song titles might suggest. There are three very well done instrumentals in the remaining 12 tracks, leaving only nine real "Yodeling Songs Of The Alps". So, if you like to think of the glass as being half full, then you will no doubt enjoy those 12 as I do.

Some Great Yodelling!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yodeling Songs Of The Alps (Audio CD)
I Love this CD!!!! Even though the title is somewhat misleading this album is great for those who love Cowboy Yodelling, Alpine Yodelling, International Music or like me, All of the above! I also have the first ten selections on an audiocassette.The original title of the cassette was "Swiss Yodeling Songs". The cassette sounds home-made but the CD Is great!. The german selections are fun to sing-along to. By the way, I know the name of the artist who sings the cowboy songs. His name is Max MacCauley. Buy This CD Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
