FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Leann Rimes "Cattle Call"

[@donaldstewart8342]

LeAnn Rimes made history in 1997 when she, at just 14 years old, became the youngest person ever to win a GRAMMY, taking home Best New Artist and Best Female Country Vocal Performance (for her rendition of "Blue,"

[@kennethroe5376]

That is Eddie Arnold that is singing with Leann. They did this song together on a country varitey show when she was just getting started. Eddie was the first one that I remember doing this in the 60s or early 70s

[@Renovion]

Burl Ives also sings this song.

[@jowen9402]

LeAnn can yodel

[@ShaunComnerley-zi3xr]

Yeah remember my mom and dad and grandparents listen to Eddy Arnold singing this song and even today it makes you cry just listen to Leanne

[@leonardwerner2049]

Yodeling in the US is generally considered country. It’s generally said that there’s three types of yodeling, Swiss cowboy and country. If you wanna hear some interesting yodeling Mary Schneider from Australia, you should listen to her. I love yodeling, but I can’t carry a tune.

[@ssndocwilli]

Yep, and If I recall correctly, she was only 11 or 12 years old

[@shynola8]

Eddie Arnold did this song way back in the 50s. My dad used to sing it to us kids and we laughed and laughed. Yodeling is funny to little kids. "Do it again, daddy!" :)

[@rockyeades5935]

My dad used to sing it to us kids too. He couldn't sing worth a damn, but he sure could yodel.

[@amysepan804]

I remember my dad playing the Eddie Arnold song a lot when I was younger and honestly didn't care much for it until I heard this version with the two of them together.

[@genehenne2919]

Eddie was my Dad’s favorite! He used to sing it too!! Lol

[@karessalongmire1783]

My stepdad also like him and I have many fond memories of him singing and yodeling. My stepdad was the most talented person I've ever met. I just found Eddie's record with this song in his stuff I inherited😊

[@brianbreckler9685]

When the whole country was introduced to LeAnn at 13 or 14 singing Blue, you knew this was a child blessed with a very special voice and talent. She could sing a grocery list and make you stop and pay attention.

[@marshawolfe2948]

❤❤❤❤

[@marshawolfe2948]

I have the majority of her early C D's and this was definitely one of them, and I would play It over and over. Maybe Britt needs to listen to the C.D cause it is so good. And I absolutely loved blue.She needs to listen to that because Because Lynn yodel's in that.

[@texasron9131]

As kids in Fort Worth, my brother and I listened to Country singer Eddie Arnold’s 15-minute radio program. His radio “open” was his big hit Cattle Call, which was his signature sound and song. Lee Ann’s cover is amazing.

[@wesleylogan8860]

I have been waiting for you to discover Eddie Arnold. Now you need to experience his Make The World Go Away song. He was my fathers favorite singer when I was a kid. Then when Leann came onto the country music scene in the 90's, he fell in love with her voice as well.

[@Ken-h5d]

Yes! Eddie Arnold, Jim Reeves, Bill Anderson, Ray Price. Any or all 4.

[@hakanabay3161]

Elvis,Make the world go away is a must.

[@ConspiracySmurf]

I used to watch her do this live as a little girl at the Mesquite Opry in Texas...she was amazing!!! FIND BLUE, YOU GOT TO HEAR BLUE!

[@leecogbill5881]

I remember when she first started singing and I will always say she has the most angelic voice ever

[@pridofawlf]

That is eddy arnold who originally sang this song.

[@willieb3765]

14 years old in 1996 when she recorded this - - she asked Eddie Arnold for permission to record it for her album, he said yes IF he sang with her, rest is history

[@johnniecalhoun5381]

She had a concert in Rome ,Ga. I got picked to help with security for that concert . I got to meet and talk to her . She was sweet , down to earth and could really sing .

[@jaybear565]

beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, and I really enjoy her singing to me .. cause that's the way I feel when I hear her sing .. Love you LeAnn

[@cavebear33]

Leann and Eddy Arnold teamed up for "Cattle Call" in 1996. She was 14 and he was 76. Cattle Call was his signature song, first recorded by him in 1944. His 1955 version was a number one hit in Country Music and topped the charts for a few weeks. He passed in 2008 at the age of 90. There's a You Tube video of the two of them together singing the song.

[@BelleDede01]

[@halcundiff6886]

On cattle drives, at night, the cowboys would sing and yodel to the cattle to calm them at night. It also had the effect of letting the predators the humans were around. Most when they hear and smell humans are as we say man shy. Scared and stay away.

[@themuttsandthemal7729]

LeAnn Rimes was on the masked singer! You get a great sense of that woman’s range and I think she has more skills than what she showed! She’s truly incredible!

[@timrogers1786]

too bad for me I didn’t see her as The Sun.. I could identify her voice off the bat to the sun ☀️

[@allengray5748]

Not much of Country Feller myself but a couple catch my ear! This one is a old one. Written by Tex Owens 1934 and made famous by Eddy Arnold 1955. El Paso by Marty Robbins is cool as well!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@Joe_Okey]

Slim Whitman also covered this song in the fifties.

[@JGoolsby]

Leann Rimes has been singing since she was 18 MONTHS OLD !!!!!!!

[@bmorse68]

This is a cover from Eddie Arnold in 1955.

[@Bobbo-xx3pk]

Leann has had child star drama and depression issues. She’s been very open about that. As an adult she has chosen to perform on her terms doing songs and styles as she wants knowing it’s not as lucrative financially as it would be singing what others may choose for her. She does tour and make appearances. Her last studio album was 2/3 years ago and very personal in nature.

[@JGoolsby]

Yes!!!!!! Leann Rimes is performing on here when she was only 14 yodelling and singing "A COWBOY'S GIRLFRIEND"!!!!!!! SIMPLY AMAZING !!!!!!!!

[@GrumpyOldGuy534]

I lived close to Dallas, and was a working musician in the area. Started hearing the buzz about this young girl that had an amazing voice. This was a year or two before she became famous. Amazing was right!!!

[@lamusiclover2264]

Leon was first discovered on a TV talent show called "Star Search". She released her first album three years later at the age of 11 !!

[@bobknightfolk]

Slim Whitman recorded this one way back in the 1950's. My mother was a big Slim Whitman fan. :)

[@bobknightfolk]

Just checked, Slim released it in 1954.

[@nperry77]

I love you chose this one

[@xrysoryba]

Jimmie Rodgers was the first country super star back in the late 20s early 30s. He had a number of songs known as "Blue Yodels". Some were just numbered like "Blue Yodel No. 6" and some also had names like "California Blues". You should give him a listen.

[@emerald1805]

Yes, Yes, do some Jimmie Rodgers. “Blue Yodel No. 1”. from 1928

[@lefty3141591]

I was thinking of him as well. An amazing singer. There is a video of Jimmie Rodgers singing Blue Yodel #9 (T for Texas).

[@arielbussart1305]

I forgot about this song!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS! LeAnn was one of my first music loves! I saw her in "concert" free at the Alaska state fair when she was 16! Before Blue (yes, that's her first album/CD) was even released!

[@curtismarsh4528]

Growing up with cattle and agriculture, I remember listening to Eddie Arnold with my Mom. I'm in my mid sixties now.

[@DougRayPhillips]

As folks have mentioned, LeAnn was about 14 when this album came out. May have been 13 when she recorded some of it. She's duetting with country star Addy Arnold on this song, because he had a hit with it a couple of generations previous and it's kind of a passing-the-torch moment.

[@pridofawlf]

Just so you know she was 13 when she sang this song

[@georgschmidt5281]

They do a great job on this song.

[@lylelambie8895]

❤ this 😂 a awesome song by song bless them both

[@marshawolfe2948]

She was one of my most favorite country singers back in the early nineties

[@JenneferRoseBarnettah-q8c]

She is literally the best yodeling female singer in the world hands down! No one can do what she does. She was 14 I believe here. She is phenomenal

[@kendrickmagee672]

I love ❤ me some LeAnn Rimes been a fan of hers for a long time

[@carlmcmullen7067]

Yep Eddie Arnold came out with it when I was growing up, yodeling as its called.

[@emerald1805]

Played at every Rodeo for 70 years! Eddie Arnold, Slim Whitman, Tex Ritter, etc… Rimes is a newcomer to this! Jimmie Rodgers “Blue Yodels” from the 1920s are an earlier example. Real Cowboys still sing to their cattle.

[@leland-m6y]

Tex Owens wrote this song. Eddie Arnold had a hit with its release in 1963! It's been covered by gobs of yodelers since then.

[@cassandrapotts7127]

Every single song on this album is perfection. I absolutely love her song honestly

[@jameseast7966]

My first time hearing LEANNE was 1995 in Arcadia Fl. at the watermelon festival, on a flatbed trailer. She was so talented. I told my friend "she is gonna big". She is!!!!

[@eddieevans6692]

Eddy Arnold released this song in 1955. Leann does a fantastic rendition and when Eddy comes in for the duet...it's sublime! It's possible that yodeling originated in the central Alps of Switzerland where herders used yodeling to communicate. Jimmy Rogers was the first American artist to record yodeling in a country song.

[@JJLovesMusic87]

My favorite leanne rimes song is one way ticket because its so catchy.

[@codyclaeys2008]

And commitment

[@flitemedic55]

amen sister!

[@ydqpljn]

Eddy Arnold recorded his version 1944, and again in 1955. "The Cattle Call" is a song written and recorded in 1934 by American songwriter and musician Tex Owens.

[@bobbyoakley1209]

God given talent for sure

[@1980bwc]

Eddie Arnold is from right up the road from me, in Henderson, Tennessee. He first made this song popular back in the late 50's or early 60's. This is him singing here with Leanne. Also, Leanne was only like 13 or 14 when this song and album came out.

[@richardwhite2344]

Britt, Her huge hit was Blue, and it is a must hear. You will Love it. The Original recording of this was by eddy Arnold Who is singing with Leann

[@JCourts2k23]

Blue was her first single and album, she was like 13 when it came out.

[@michaelmorse5818]

If I remember right, the album, blue, which the song blue is out, there is absolutely gorgeous, but these were Patsy Clyde socks in the album. Blue was actually written for Patsy, and I don’t think she ever sang it, but it’s Leanne‘s way because her voice is kinda like Patsy Clines. It’s her way of paying tribute to Patsy Cline, and I think Leanne was like 15 or 14 when she did this album she was young.

[@angieday5183]

Eddie Arnold originated the song. Lee Ann sang with him when he was older as a tribute. U can find them doing it live on You Tube

[@richardkawucha1232]

The first time I heard her sing, the song was "Crazy". A cover of the Patsy Cline hit. Yodeling started in the central Alps in Switzerland.

[@tinalouise1268]

Love this song! ❤️ Pretty Country

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

LEEANN YOU'RE THE LOVER OF MY LIFE (C)2006

[@PapaJoeK]

This is a remake. You have to listen to the original. I've been a cowboy and gave the cattle call to bring the cattle in where you wanted them to go. You train the cattle to eat and you give them the cattle call as you feed them and they respond even when they're not being fed. good memories.

[@sharonpeterson5415]

Wow. I never knew that. And I grew up in Kansas. For shame.

[@JGoolsby]

That is Eddie Arnold. and he started singing this song in the 1960's.

[@bobbrooks1953]

Your reactions are su much fun and so superior to your competition that I usually just save your piece for a bedtime treat. Thanks.

[@brittreacts]

Wow, thank you!

[@mrcurtis73]

lol.. As soon as I saw this on my feed, I was gonna say you should check out Eddy Arnold’s original version of this song. But that’s who you hear near the end of the song. I’d still check out the original just for the fun of it. I knew Leann recorded this song, but I guess I forgot that Eddy Arnold sang it with her. Pretty cool to hear that harmony yodeling part. If you want to hear some more old school yodeling, check out OG country singer Jimmie Rodgers. The song T For Texas would be a good place to start with Jimmie Rodgers. But he does the same yodeling lick in just about all of his songs. lol

[@kylesummers1565]

Eddie was a great and LeAnn is as well. I agree with others that she hasn't busted the ceiling as much because she was a child-star. Peace, Love!!

[@janiceleffingwell2672]

This song is a prime exmple of "Western" style music. In reality, cowboys did sing to the cattle herds to help keep them calm! Plus, it was very boring sitting in a saddle all day, (unless the cattle spooked and stampeded!) so cowboys truly did sing to pass the time! Yodeling is a real vocal skill and some people can never master it. Hers is a gift!

[@pamhodges527]

Eddie Arnold sang this in the mid 50's. He had the most peaceful voice

[@dustinhamilton13]

I love how respectful you are for the music. Yes, yodeling is definitely a gift. I’m sure it could be learned. I’d you have vocal talent. She also yodels a little bit in her song blue which is also her title debut album… also a few yodeling interpretations throughout her career.. trust me when I say she has probably 1000 songs, you could get lost if you go down that rabbit hole. One of the best live vocalist I have ever seen.

[@paularobinson4358]

LIsten to I want to be a cowboys sweetheart. that is a yodeling good time!

[@Shelly163off]

I agree... Cowboy Sweetheart is one of my favorites!!

[@joespradley2323]

Hey Brit! Check out Diana Ankudinova that sings “Yodel Time” on a Russian edition of Children’s Voice when she was 13 yrs old. At 15 she covers “Wicked Game” and at 18 she did “Can’t help falling in Love” by Elvis Presley. Love LeAnn Rimes!🙏🏼🌹💕

[@johncheney950]

This a really old song , way back in 1928 by Tex Owens, made famous br Eddy Arnold and the Tennessee Plowboys in 1945.

[@michaelmorse5818]

And the old cattle called part was way back when when they were driving Cadillac of Florida out to the west, as before there was even towels in the west, but just has a assumption cows come out of Texas, but actually come out of Florida when the cows get scared a lot of the Cowboys would singto the cows and calm them to prevent stampede in that kind of thing

[@evelynwilliams5174]

My mom was excellent at yodeling I loved to listen to her. It’s not easy to master. Jimmy Rodger’s was a famous yodeler from early 1900s

[@matthewdooley7855]

She could've been a singer in the 50s or 60s. But she's great right now!

[@daleswanson1784]

Richard Edward Arnold (May 15, 1918 - May 8, 2008) was an American country music singer. He was a Nashville sound (country/popular music) innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry (beginning 1943) and the Country Music Hall of Fame (beginning 1966), Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music."

[@PapaJoeK]

Myself, my wife, and my two nieces (ages about 5 and 7) moved twenty three head of bulls one day using the cattle call.

[@ellenboyle8022]

Definitely God given talent

[@Paladin70]

I could not wait to see your face when it came time for Eddy to jump in. If you ever want to go way back, he would be a great listen with his solo version of this song (1955) as well as What’s He Doin’ In My World, Make The World Go Away and Streets Of Laredo. 👍🏼😁❤️

[@fiercetaurian7318]

This is her first album. It's amazing. God did give her a great vocal instrument. You're thinking of The Sound Of Music. Eddi Arnold first sang this song and is singing with Leann on this one.

[@dorothymorris1680]

She does I Want to Be a Cowboys Sweetheart .The song was first done by Patsy Montana who was the first female to sell. one million copies.

[@chuckles5163]

BRITT, IT'S WESTERN!!!!!!!! YES IT IS A LULABY, COWBOYS SANG TO THE CATTLE TO KEEP THEM CALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@genehenne2919]

Eddie Arnold had such a smooth voice!!

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check out Taylor Ware's yodeling. That is Eddy Arnold. He recorded this in 1955.

[@mjdillaha]

I remember when this album came out, everyone was crazy about Blue, but I loved this one.

[@jasonbyassee7541]

This song has been covered by numerous artist. My favorite is Wiley and the wild west show. They were like a LA country band.

[@kaseymoe]

I like that you said God poured all of the vocal sauce into Leann's body. I really need a lot of vocal sauce to help me sing.

[@darrenwilkes5858]

Your facial expressions are absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@halcundiff6886]

The Sound of Music

[@ednafenton7558]

The great Eddy Arnold. My favorite song of his is, "A Cowboy." I think is was 1976/77. Another Country singer who could yodel is Margo Smith. She does it on the show, "Family Country Reunion." & l think also on "Pop goes the country" tv show. I love to hear singer yodel.

[@richardwilliams4954]

Lotta music out there we don't know Britt

[@traceybholbrook]

Yodeling comes from the Swiss, Austria and Germany areas of Europe. They would call cattle and goats in. It carried over to the cowboys in the US who watched over and protected the herds on the prairies.

[@jedidiahhoyle1986]

That's eddy Arnold with her

[@richsalm7474]

Her song "Spaceship" was written during Covid and is probably her most honest & emotional song yet. It is really worth the time to hear it!

[@KathyNeuman-c2q]

Eddie Arnold came out of retirement to do a duet with her. That was Eddie Arnold’s song. He was my dads favorite singer.

[@curiousman1672]

I'd bet a few dollars that they brought that song to her, because of the yodels she does in "Blue". The guy is Eddy Arnold, who made the song famous in the late 50's.

[@tinalouise1268]

Eddy Arnold sang it originally. He’s spliced in with her.

[@bobknightfolk]

Slim Whitman recorded it in the 1950's.

[@TerryDunbar-i7s]

Britt That is Mr.Eddie Arnold Who was 83 when LeAnn sang cattle call.He recorded it in his younger day.He had open heart Surgery and she sang it at an awards Ceremony. Check Lann Rimes in the Patsy .Montana Tribute.

[@kevinbailey8827]

For more yodeling, check out Mary Schneider "Yodeling the Classics". She's very skilled, but it's also unexpected and funny. Another artist who uses yodeling in his work is Bobby McFerrin ("Don't Worry, Be Happy"). He was conductor of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and added his voice to their work.

[@TedC5203]

You gotta hear Jewel yodel. She's crazy good and she starts out normal and gets faster and faster.

[@questor_xl]

There's a YT video of a young teen LeAnn competing in a yodeling competition. Good stuff. 👍

[@pattidiaz4667]

Yodeling was originally from Switzerland. She is awesome at it!!

[@MidnightTokenFloydChatAccount]

If you want more of her yodeling look up "i wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart" (there was a live version floating on KZbin i think it's still here lol)

[@Dana-fy8bg]

For a little bit of a 180 from this, in 2002 LeAnn released the song Life Goes On when she was about 20 years old.

[@RaymondRichardson-r2u]

I recommended this to you a few months back. I thought you would like it

[@WolvenHeart1]

This is a cool song. When we were growing up pops was heavy country and western but he sort of limited the yoddling songs, mainly because he had 4 boys and you know how young boys would brutalize the yoddling afterwards. 4 boys and a sister. Don't know how my parents and sis survived . Especially Chuck Berry's "My Ding a ling" we got grounded after hearing it, mainly because us boys started making up our own verses.

[@markwatson450]

That was originally an Eddy Arnold song and he sings with her on this!

[@kenturnquist5768]

When I was in high school we had a jukebox in the cafeteria, we put $5 in and played this Song for 3 hours straight , people were not happy

[@richardwilliams4954]

Early Early 70s when my 3 year old nephew sat in his little rocking chair and sang this with my daddy
