The Term 'polka' is an Umbrella for the Dance Music of Central European Immigrants in the Us. From the Different Ethnic Music Styles of the Polish, Germans, Bohemians, Slovenians and Slovaks Developed a Pan-american Dance Music in the Fifties. Superstars Such as Frankie Yankovic and Li'l Wally Penetrated Far Into Mainstream Musical Culture. At that Time Polka was So Popular in the Midwest that Even Well Known Country Musicians Had to Switch to Polka to Survive. Today Polka is Back with a Vengeance, with a New Generation of Bands Brushing it Up with Punk, Rock and Jazz.

CD Reviews

Really exceptional yodel collection

James Manheim | Ann Arbor, MI, USA | 04/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Note that the "editorial description" for this album doesn't match the album itself--it's not a polka album but a collection of mostly country yodel songs, with a few by blues artists thrown in. The variety is what's really cool--the yodel was a vaudeville device (the earliest recording here is a 1911 version of "Sleep, Baby, Sleep," later recorded by Jimmie Rodgers) that found its way into string band music, Rodgers-type country-blues hybrids, cowboy songs, and blues. All are inventively represented. There are many unusual numbers here that have been very hard to find--sample Riley Puckett's "Sauerkraut," which is a sort of mix of German dialect comedy and mountain string band music--very weird and wonderful. I just heard this album and am buying two. Notes are in German and English."

WONDERFUL EXAMPLES OF HISTORICAL YODELING

"This cd is lots of fun. The recordings are realistically old, as in you can hear the scratchy noise like we use to hear on well used records when we were kids, though in my opinion that only adds to it. Some AMAZING voice work."
