Blues Spotlight: Yank Rachell's Career As A Performer Spanned Nearly Seventy Years Beginning In The Late 1920s. His Impeccable Playing On the Mandolin Brought A Unique Twist To The Blues.

Harp Player Hammie Nixon Joined Up And The Trio Toured Relentlessly Throughout the Deep South. World War ll Killed Rachell's Recording Career. Two Decades Later The Folk/Blues Revival Brought Yank Back To The Stages, Reconnecting With Estes And Nixon, Highly-Regarded As Genuine And Original Acoustic Blues Players. After Sleepy John's Passing, Yank Rachell Continued Solo For Twenty-Years; Passing On in 1997
