People on TikTok are realizing Walmart ‘Yodeling Boy’ Mason Ramsey still makes music—and it’s actually quite good


Y’all remember “Yodeling Kid” Mason Ramsey, right? Walmart. Hank Williams. Cowboy hat. 2018. Ringing any bell?

Okay, so for those not in the know: back in 2018 a video of young aspiring singer Mason Ramsey went mega-viral after someone recorded his performance yodeling  “Lovesick Blues” by Hank Williams inside of a Walmart in Harrisburg, IL. 

From there, the young singer took off in popularity on the internet, with many singing (yodeling?) his praises, and the world at large becoming quick fans of his unique voice. As a direct result of his rising stardom, he was featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in a Burger King commercial, and even performed with Lil Nas X at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.
