Slim Whitman discography

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.

Studio albums
Colin Larkin's Encyclopedia of Popular Music, too, lists it as a regular album, along with America's Favorite Folk Singer that was released in the same year by Imperial and compiled songs recorded for the Imperial label.
 * [A] Slim Whitman Sings and Yodels compiles recordings made by Whitman for RCA Victor in the late 1940s – 1950 and was released after the singer made it big on Imperial. But since it was common practice at the time to compile albums from recordings already available as 78-r.p.m. and 45-r.p.m. sides, the album is listed here as a regular one and not as a compilation.
 * [B] Red River Valley also peaked at no. 18 in New Zealand and at no. 81 on the retrospective Kent Music Report chart in Australia.
 * [C] Songs I Love to Sing also peaked at no. 24 on the RPM Country Albums chart in Canada.

Singles (U.S.)
This is a list of U.S. singles. In the UK, Whitman's recordings were released on London Records, and the songs were often coupled differently.

For songs released before 1958, the "album" column simply indicates the first album appearance. It doesn't have to be (and often isn't) the same version. There is also a 1962 album titled Forever, for which Whitman recorded new versions of some more of his early hits ("Danny Boy", "North Wind", "I'm a Fool", and "Smoke Signals").

After Whitman hit it big on Imperial, RCA Victor hastily issued several singles with his old recordings for the label to cash off of his popularity. The 1953 RCA Victor single "I'm Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky" was even coupled with the same song as the then-latest Whitman's single for Imperial.


 * [A] "Reminiscing" peaked at No. 4 on the RPM Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in Canada.
 * [B] "Indian Love Call" and "China Doll" charted in the UK upon the single's reissue(s) in 1955 (cat. no. London HL 1149, 1955 reussue).
 * [C] In the UK, "Serenade" was released as a single on its own right, coupled with "I Talk to the Waves" (London HL 8287)
