Tappin' that thing : 1929-41

"Mandolin player Yank Rachell was a key figure in the first generation of blue.... And his early number get a welcome second chance at life in the best way possible with this lovingly re-engineered set".

"James "Yank" Rachell defined the sound of the mandolin on recorded pre-war blues ... Listeners familiar with Rachell may question som omissions (...) and there are moments when the audio seems a mite too compressed. But Alfred Rhode's notes are first-rate and overall this is a long-overdue celebration on CD of the legacy of a significant but lesser-known artist".
