Blue Yodel
The Blue Yodel songs are a series of thirteen songs written and recorded by Jimmie Rodgers during the period from 1927 to his death in May 1933. The songs were based on the 12-bar blues format and featured Rodgers’ trademark yodel refrains. The lyrics often had a risqué quality with “a macho, slightly dangerous undertone”.〔(‘Jimmie Rodgers: Life & Time’ ) by John Lilly (citing ''Jimmie Rodgers: The Life and Times of America's Blue Yodeler'' by Nolan Porterfield, University of Illinois Press, 1992).〕 The original 78 issue of "Blue Yodel No. 1 ("T" for Texas)" sold more than a half million copies, a phenomenal number at the time. The term "blue yodel" is also sometimes used to differentiate the earlier Austrian yodeling from the American form of yodeling introduced by Rodgers.
==A folk-blues hybrid==
Jimmie Rodgers’ background in the blackface minstrel-shows and as a railroad worker enabled him to develop a unique musical hybridisation drawing from both black and white traditions, as exemplified by the Blue Yodel songs. In his recordings Rodgers and his record producer, Ralph Peer, achieved a “vernacular combination of blues, jazz, and traditional folk” to produce a style of music then called ‘hillbilly’.〔 (‘Black and White Cultural Seepage in Country’ ), by Cole M. Greif-Neill, ‘Your folyops’ website (2005).〕
Rodgers’ Blue Yodel songs, as well as a number of his other songs of a similar pattern, drew heavily on fragmentary and ephemeral song phrases from blues and folk traditions (called ‘floating lyrics’ or ‘maverick phrases’).〔John Greenway, ‘Jimmie Rodgers: A Folksong Catalyst’, ''The Journal of American Folklore'', Vol. 70, No. 277. (Jul-Sept 1957), pp. 231-234: (available on-line )〕
