Yank Rachell has long been a legend in the blues world. One of the few blues mandolin players, Rachell recorded several notable sessions during 1929-1941 and then was off record for 22 years. After spending time outside of music, he was rediscovered and in 1963 he performed the music on this CD reissue. Rachell (who was in his fifties at the time), is in excellent voice throughout the date although it is his mandolin work that makes this set particularly special. He is reunited with two notable friends from the 1930s (guitarist Sleepy John Estes and Hammie Nixon who is heard on harmonica and jug) and is assisted on some numbers by both Big Joe Williams and the up-and-coming Mike Bloomfield on guitars; several numbers find Rachell backed by three guitars. Yank Rachell would remain active until shortly before his death on Apr. 9, 1997. This comeback set (which adds six previously unreleased tracks to the original ten-song program) is one of his definitive recordings and is a perfect showcase of the great bluesman's talents. ~Scott Yanow

Nothing on this set rivals his best '60s-era recordings for the Delmark label (those can be found on The Legend of Sleepy John Estes), but this album is still worthwhile. Estes is joined by the most sympathetic accompanists he would ever know: Hammie Nixon on harmonica and Yank Rachell on mandolin and second guitar. Michael Bloomfield, then a fiery young guitarist just appearing on the Chicago scene, joins in on a few tunes, too. But not even his presence can rouse the somnolent Estes. ~ Brian Beatty

John Adam Estes (Sleepy John) known as The Tennesse Blues Poet, plays guitar & sings on 12 tracks w. The Tennesse Jug Busters, Hammie Nixon-harmonica, Yank Rachell-mandolin & gtr, & Mike Bloomfield-gtr, 1964.

Recorded at Sound Studios, Chicago, Illinois on March 3, 1964.

Sleepy John Estes (vocals, guitar); Yank Rachell (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Michael Bloomfield (guitar); Hammie Nixon (harmonica).
