Arthur Miles

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" [cite album-notes | title = When I Was A Cowboy, Vol. 1 | date = 1996, September 24 | bandname = Various Artists | publisher = Yazoo Records | location = Newton, NJ | publisherid = 2022] .
