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" Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA delightful "novelty" M. J. Smith | Seattle, WA USA | 03/13/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is an unusual recording in the sense that in 1973 Yank Rachell was asked to re-create the sound of his playing in the 20's in Brownsville, Tennesse. In other words, Mr. Rachell was asked to play as if he'd not been influenced by St. Louis, Chicago, and his rediscovery in the 60's. The result is spectacular - a earthiness that isn't raw, a very personal sound on either mandolin or guitar. This is blues that are blue but not embittered. This is blues that nearly every cut alone would justify the album - a blues that is "mainstream rural" yet specific to Mr. Rachell.It is not accidental that in the review, I refer to the artist as Mr. Rachell not Yank. The notes and the music cause one to use respectful language."
