Our Take

SLIM WHITMAN The Absolutely Essential

Ah, Slim Whitman, the man with the yodel that could make a cow weep. The Absolutely Essential collection gathers together some of Whitman's most iconic tracks, from the toe-tapping "Indian Love Call" to the heart-wrenching "Rose Marie".

Whitman's unique vocal style is truly something to behold. His high-pitched falsetto may not be to everyone's taste, but there's no denying the man's talent. Listening to him croon through these classic tunes is like taking a trip back in time to the days of jukeboxes and poodle skirts.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. The instrumentation is classic country, with plenty of slide guitar and honky-tonk piano to keep your toes tapping. Whitman's vocals are front and centre, and rightly so - the man's voice is pure magic.

While some may dismiss Whitman as a relic of a bygone era, this collection proves that his music still has the power to captivate. Whether you're a die-hard country fan or just someone looking to broaden their musical horizons, The Absolutely Essential is a must-listen. So grab yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick back, and let Slim Whitman take you on a journey through the golden age of country music. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Slim Whitman

SLIM WHITMAN: The Yodeling Cowboy-Crooner Who Defies Genre Boundaries Slim Whitman, the enigmatic yodeling cowboy-crooner, has been a staple in the music industry for over six decades. With a unique vocal style that effortlessly blends country, folk, and western swing, Whitman has carved out a niche for himself that is truly one-of-a-kind. Born in Tampa, Florida, Whitman first made a name for himself in the 1950s with hits like "Indian Love Call" and "Rose Marie." His distinctive falsetto voice and penchant for yodeling quickly set him apart from his peers, earning him a loyal fan base and a reputation as a true musical maverick. Despite his success, Whitman has always remained humble and down-to-earth, eschewing the trappings of fame in favor of a simple life spent on his ranch in Middleburg, Florida. This authenticity shines through in his music, with heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies that speak to the human experience in a way that is both universal and deeply personal. Whitman's influence can be felt across a wide range of genres, from country to pop to rockabilly. Artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson have cited him as an inspiration, proving that his music transcends the constraints of time and genre. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to his music, one thing is certain: Slim Whitman is a true musical icon whose talent knows no bounds. So saddle up, put on your cowboy boots, and prepare to be transported to a world where the yodel reigns supreme and the spirit of the open plains is alive and well.
