Arthur Miles
Arthur Miles was a 1920s American singer of cowboy songs.
Born in Texas, Miles is credited with independently utilising a style of overtone 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 Miles. The recordings are the first and second parts of a tune titled "Lonely Cowboy".[1]
