	australian country and hillbilly yodel
		The country music industry today is preoccupied with `throwing off the hick image' and emphasising the broad appeal of the genre, and to many current propagandists for Australian country music yodelling is an aspect of both the history and current state of the music which condemns them to commercial unacceptability.
		The yodel became strongly associated with country music genres, particular with cowboy music of the 1930s, and it is often assumed that the musical technique was associated with such performances in their pre-commercial form.
		This may be seen as an example of the conservativeness of country music fans in Australia, and the continuing hold of formations of popular taste relatively impervious to precepts of the music industry and unconcerned with an educated aesthetic.
