'Skinny Woman Matchbox Blues' had me reaching for my guitar to see how he got that sound! "

Yank's mandolin blues are distinctly original in sound..."Matchbox Blues" is a melodic minor blues and "Shotgun Blues" has a walking feel to the tempo

If you like country, delta or urban acoustic blues, this CD will be a welcome addition to your collection.

<"b0000488w74999"> Album Description
This album was originally released as an LP in 1973 by Blue Goose Records, whose catalogue was later sold to Shanachie Records. Now reissued in CD format, It features Yank Rachell playing acoustic guitar and mandolin. He is accompanied on guitar by Michael Stewart. On this album Yank performs the songs he and Sleepy John Estes did in the 1920s and 30s. This album is not only a window into that era of blues music, but it also demonstrates that the blues mandolin man was an exceptionally good guitar player. Yank is at his best on these classic tracks. At age 63 his voice is strong later in life) reel off dazzling mandolin riffs. It's worth the price alone for the great "Diving Duck Blues"
