Country music singer and songwriter Cliff Carlisle was born on this day in 1903. Brother of country music star Bill Carlisle, Cliff was a singer and yodeler who was a pioneer in the use of the Hawaiian guitar in country music. "Rocky Mountain Sweetheart" is from 1931.
You can hear blue grass and even the blues. I’m one who likes yodeling but normally I the folk songs from Germany and Austria. He does it very well.

Some of the best yodeling I’ve heard is done by a Ukrainian girl named Sofia Shkidchenko…
She’s off to Berklee College of Music next year.
Cliff is a good yodeler, as was Hank Williams. It used to be a regular thing among country singers. I think Roy Rogers or Gene Autry was a good one…
