Customer Reviews

The Alps in Texas?
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
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.

Very Disappointed.
I was expecting to hear some authentic Swiss mountain music (ok, and German & Austrian)- not Texas cowboy music. The first 10 songs are in English and are annoying to listen to.
No.11 is "I am a Yodeling Girl", sung by a man. The rest are in German, Swiss-German, etc, though many sounded like they were sung by Americans learning a second language. A couple were decent performances of some good yodeling, but generally the rest were disappointing. I want my eight bucks back.
