Chanteuse
Country US née Janet Lister, le 5 Avril 1934 à Inglewood (Californie).
Born Janet
Lister, 5 April 1934, Inglewood, California, USA. McBride grew up in North
Whitefield, Maine and developed a keen interest in country music and yodelling
as a child. She sang with siblings at local venues but after marrying Claude
McBride in 1955, they returned to California, where she began a solo career. She
first recorded for Toppa in 1960 with Wynn
Stewart’s band and during the early 60s, she worked shows with many artists
including Merle Haggard and
Buck Owens and featured in television
shows. In 1965, she relocated to Dallas, where she became the featured vocalist
at Dewey Groom’s Longhorn Ballroom, appeared on theBig “D” Jamboree and recorded
songs and yodels for the Longhorn label. Accompanied by her husband and
songwriter Vern Stovall, she played Las Vegas venues and toured to Canada. In
1968, after further tours with Roy Clark
and Tex Williams, she relocated to
Nashville but returned to Dallas the following year and continued her
appearances at the Longhorn Ballroom. When Claude died, in 1973, she retired
from singing until 1976, when she married B.J. Ingram, a Dallas County deputy
sheriff. Together they started the Saturday night Mesquite Opry, a show which
featured both local and touring country artists. In 1984, she achieved a
lifelong ambition by singing on stage at the Grand Ole Opry with
Patsy Montana, whose yodelling had
always been her inspiration. (She had recorded Patsy’s ‘I Want To Be A Cowboy’s
Sweetheart’, as her tribute, years before).
During her career McBride, an excellent exponent of the art, has written several
yodelling numbers including ‘Best Dern Yodeler’, ‘Yodelling Jan’ and her popular
‘Yodeling Tribute’, which mentions great yodellers including
Jimmie Rodgers, Elton Britt and others.
She was awarded Western Music Association’s Female Yodeler Of The Year in 1991.
Deciding to take things easier, she closed the Mesquite Opry 30 December 1995
but maintained some public concert appearances including touring to Austria in
1996, where she featured at the Vienna Country Music Festival gaining good
reviews for her yodelling. She has recorded for several labels with backing
provided by such as Ralph Mooney, Phil
Baugh and Dale Potter. In the 80s three albums were issued by a German
label, one being a compilation of earlier recordings while there have also been
cassette releases and in 1996 a CD containing 25 of her own songs.
