Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World
Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo is the first book to view yodeling as a global phenomenon. It answers the question: How did a centuries-old Alpine tradition make its way into American country music? Along the way, the reader discovers that yodeling is not just a Swiss thing: everyone from African Pygmies, rhinestone cow-people, avant-garde tonsil-twisters, and Nazi Jugend SS, to pop stars like Jewel and Sly & the Family Stone to Bollywood star Kishore Kumar have been known to yodel.
Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo features chapters on what a yodel is and sounds like, with further regional chapters devoted to Alpine yodeling, American cowboy yodeling, Eastern European, British, Dutch, Scandinavian, Bollywood, Asian, New Guinean and West African Pygmy yodeling, as well as yodeling in pop, Jazz, reggae, classical, techno, avant-garde circles, and film and literature.
