Slim Whitman was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. His first single, complete with trademark yodel "I'm Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky", appeared in 1949, and his first album, Slim Whitman Sings and Yodels, in 1954.
Whitman's last charting album was an album of holiday classics titled Christmas with Slim Whitman (1980). After Angeline (1984) that was his last solo album under contract with the major label Epic Records, Whitman however continued to tour until 2002 or 2003. Later, after a lengthy hiatus, he recorded the album Twilight on the Trail that was released by independent label Rangeland Records in 2010.
He also recorded with his son Byron Keith Whitman. In 1988, they released an album titled Magic Moments, and in 1998 an album titled Traditional Country.
