Arthur Miles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Miles was a 1920s Texan singer of cowboy songs. He is credited with independently creating a style of throat singing, similar to the Tuvan style called sygyt, as a supplement to the normal yodeling of Country Western music. Two recordings exist that are attributed to Arthur Miles. The recordings are two different versions of a tune titled "Lonely Cowboy"[1].
