JazzMando field reporter and fellow picker, Mike Butler has brought to our attention a great resource for all you mandolin blues fans, www.YankRachell.com. Sponsored by the Mandolin Society of Central Indiana (home of the acoustic performing ensemble, Mandolindy), this is a terrific compilation of pictures, stories, quotes, and biography of this influential blues legend.

News of an upcoming recording and Yank Rachell Tribute, final mix in the works, we hope to hear a release date soon.
