Yodeling Songs of the Alps by Various Artists (CD, Bescol)

The first half of this cd is acutally country yodeling performed by Max McCauley. Max is a country artist from Austalia. After the initial surprise at hearing country yodeling on a cd named "Yodleing songs of the Alps", Max's songs become appealing in their own right. With a few exceptions, the remainder of the songs are, indeed, alpine yodel songs. Sung in german by a very charming male/female duet, these songs will appease your intitial dissapointment. I haven't been able to discover the names of these performers. Three of the remaining songs are instrumental polkas and contain no yodeling. In all, the cd is worth adding to your yodel collection.

Because of the extremely poor quality of this cd, I have no idea whether or not the actual music and yodeling are good or bad. In fact, it is almost impossible to tell when or if there is yodeling or if it is a defect in the record. I would not recommend this cd at all.
