yodeller

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inarticulate singer' is the definition.
'yodeller' can be an answer for 'singer' (yodeller is a kind of singer). I am not sure about the 'inarticulate' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yodeller that I've seen before include "Singer using falsetto" , "Mountain air for him" , "Alpine singer" , "Vocalist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
