From the back cover: Elton started singing professionally at fourteen. He's famous for being album to yodel higher than anyone else in the world. "Perhaps being able to reach high notes comes to me naturally", Elton says, explaining that his mother was born and brought up high in the Ozark Mountains and he himself first saw the light of day in the Osage Hills of Oklahoma. Like so many other famous country artists, Britt is a combination of Cherokee Indian and Irish stock.

One of Elton Britt's million-selling hits is included here "Rovin' Gambler". His rendition of the long-time popular folk song captured the heart of the country.
