YANK?RACHELL Was A Bluesman With A Very Real Difference; Although He Could - And Frequently Did - Play Guitar, His Instrument Of Choice Was The Mandolin. This Compilation Covers The First Phase Of His Active Musical Career, Between 1929 And 1941, At Which Point The Recording Careers Of Most Blues Musicians Was Put On Hold, Following The U. S. Entry Into WWII. Included Herein Are His 1940s Hits, 'Bye-Bye Blues' And 'Tappin' That Thing'. During The Mid 1940s Rachell Rather Fell Off The Radar, And Remained Largely Forgotten Until His Rediscovery By Blues Historian Bob Koester In The Early 60s, When He Started Playing The College-Led Folk Revival Circuit. This Is Something Of A Star-Studded Set, As His Accompanying Musicians On These Sides Include Sleepy John Estes, Joe Williams, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Alfred Elkins And Washboard Sam.
