listing of rock songs w/mando

[ellebrille]

I started mandolin recently and I find there is not enough of that instrument in rock songs. Here are the songs I've found so far. It would be nice to build

[Dave Hicks]

Levon helm played mando on some Band songs (although it's used as a rhythm instrument rather than taking solos) - an example would be Rockin Chair.

D.H.

[mandopete]

Seals & Croft ?

[mandobob]

Here are some that I like:
The Band:
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Atlantic City
Rag Mama Rag
Evangaline
Bruce Springtien:
Into The Fire
Charlie Sexton:
Probably Saved my Life (I think)
Steve Earle:
Copperhead Road

Do the Pogues count as Rock?

[ira]

absolutely!

[mrmando]

My favorite rock mando is Billy Holmes' playing on the Killing Floor album by Vigilantes of Love. It's on most of the cuts; "Anybody's Guess" is a particular standout.

Mark Heard played a National Silvo mandolin on every cut of his Satellite Sky disc. Managed to make it sound like a guitar most of the time.

Check out John Kruth sometime ... heavy mando on most of his CDs, particularly The Cherry Electric.

[ira]

ripple-grateful dead- a true beauty of a tune.

[wichitamando]

I have seen Counting Crows several times on TV in the last year or two. Every time they were using mando. I haven't got around to picking up a CD yet.

Jars of Clay has several ballads with mando - no one loves me like you, love song for a savior, on jordan's stormy banks, lonely people.

I also like Carbon Leaf - at least half of their stuff has mando.

It's late and that's all I can remember at the moment.

Mandorock rules!

[TeleMark]

Don't forget The Hooters!

[James P]

There's always REM. #Not nessicarily good mandolin, imo, but it's in there.

[mandolooter]

Los Lobos uses mandolin in a bunch of there songs...Cyprus Hill talkes about one in a song, does that count?

[Jaus]

Michele Shocked: Memories of east Texas
Michele Shocked: The L&M don't stop here anymore
Both on the Short, Sharp, Shocked album.

Flogging Molly in almost every song on every album

[Plamen Ivanov]

I think we have discussed this before. What I like this time is the alphabetical order, that Guylaine suggested. If we want to expand the list and keep it actual, I suggest that everyone adds his band/song in the same list at the correct place, or Guylaine to do that periodically. For example: I want to add Aerosmith/Crazy and Styx/Boat on the River. Here it is:

Aerosmith Crazy
Alan Parson project Pavane
A perfect circle (What so funny 'bout)peace, love and understanding
At war with self At war with self
Blind Melon Walk
Blue Rodeo Bad timing
Blue Rodeo Up on that cloud
Byrds Path of victory

Hall & Oates Lady rain

John Hiatt Cry love

Bruce Hornsby Mandolin rain
Jars of clay Liquid
Jethro tull Weather cock
John Paul Jones Freedom song
Kinks Supersonic rocket ship
Led Zeppelin The battle of evermore
Led Zeppelin Boogiwe with stu

Split Enz Sweer talking spoon
Al Stewart Road to Moscow
Rod Stewart Maggie May
Rod Stewart Mandolin wind
Styx Boat on the River
Swingers True or false
Tea Party Shadow on the mountain side
Tea Party Sister awake
Yes Wonderous stories

This way everyone will be able to check fast if his band/song suggestion is already in the list instead of reading all the posts. At the end (?) we will have a pretty complete list.

[mandocrucian]

Take a look at the database/discographies atYahoo Groups: RockMando _ Rock and Blues Mandolin (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/rockmando/)

Niles H (http://www.btinternet.com/~john.baldry/mando/hokkanen.html)

[RichM]

I was just listening to Joan Osborne's "Saint Teresa" on the radio on the way home... plenty of mandolin in that.

[Tom C]

Big <span style='color:purple'>Rock</span> Candy Mountain

[mmukav]

Jack White of The White Stripes played mandolin on the song Little Ghost on the White Stripes album Get Behind Me Satan http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif (I just thought the devil smilie fit, I'm not angry that he plays mandolin.....)

[ApK]

Doesn't Shawn Colvin's "Sonny Came Home" feature a mandolin part?

[Jason Kessler]

Does anyone remember a British band named Lindisfarne? Much mando on all their albums.

[mando bandage]

Does anyone remember a British band named Lindisfarne? Much mando on all their albums.

And if I recall correctly, their mandolinist sat in with Mr. Rod Stewart on the two most famous mandolin rock songs of the 1970s.
R

[mandobob]

The liner notes on Rod Stewart's "Every Picture..." album credited the mandolin on those two famous songs as played by 'the mandolin player in Lindisfarne who's name escapes me'.
Always wondered if that was an inside joke, an intentional
slight, or due to rock star excess.

Was I wrong about "Sonny came home?"

[Plamen Ivanov]

Was I wrong about "Sonny came home?"
I don`t know. Feel free to add it to the list by yourself if you are sure, or wait for someone else confirmation. I`m not familiar with the song.

[Plamen Ivanov]

Rolling Stones - "Love in vain"

[jefflester]

Was I wrong about "Sonny came home?"
No. Though it's actually "Sunny."

[Tom Gibson]

Does Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" count? Bit of mandolin there . . . .

Right! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

It will be fixed next time when we update the list.

Anybody listened to the new album of "Chumbawamba"? I read a review of the "A Singsong and A Scrap" CD and there is a picture of the band with Boff Whalley holding a mandolin. Does he also play mandolin in some of the songs?

Thanks!

Good luck!

[jim simpson]

I remember a picture on the cover of Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks (Where's the Money?) I think. I'll have to listen to see if it's on it.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Now that`s a real listing of rock songs with mandolin!!! Thank you, sir!

[wichitamando]

"What is Love" by PAX217.

[ellebrille]

very cool now!
I will build a database for sure and will try to update it every week. I am just very busy right now. Keep listening music, playing and posting.

[mad dawg]

Every song by Jimmy Ryan (http://jimmyryan.net/) and Bonepony (http://bonepony.com/) features mandolin.

BTW, Bonepony will be playing Sundance on 1/27, and then will start a mini-tour of the Midwest & South. I hear they put on a great show, so if they happen to be coming near you and you catch their show, please post a review.

[simon64]

there´s definetly a mandolin on Shawn Colvin´s "Sonny came home"!

[simon64]

Another song with mando by Jethro Tull, from "Heavy Horses": Acres wild

[jefflester]

there´s definetly a mandolin on Shawn Colvin´s "Sonny came home"!
Yes, and "Sunny Came Home" has been mentioned several times and is on the list above.

[Tom Gibson]

Peter Rowan plays mando on Bap Kennedy's "Domestic Blues" album (cd? are they still called "albums"?), which (among other tunes) includes a nice hidden track version of "Dirty Old Town."

[ira]

i just did "for what its worth" tonight with my guitar partner- lots of good feed back from the aud- that song should've had a mandolin!= lol

[Keith Erickson]

Will you also include a mandola?

Alex Lifeson from Rush used one on "Test for Echo". The song is called "Half the World".

[ira]

i certainly would. didn't know rush used mandofamily instruments- excellent!

[Flyer]

Hello All...

Wow, what an impressive list of artists and bands using this great instrument...and Thanks to Niles for a most impressive list of all..

One band I haven't seen, and I may have missed, is the Eagles..They use some Mando in at least one song, Lying Eyes...late in the song, in the third verse...it plays a small part but tastefully done...

Thanks All!

Mike http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

[jim simpson]

I Don't Care That You Don't Mind - Crash Test Dummies
Uneasy Rider - Charlie Daniels Band (okay, it was on am radio in the 70's)

[Tom Gibson]

The Tragically Hip - Thompson Girl

[Yonkle]

No Mandolin in Aqualung. Guitar (capo 3rd fret) d

[Eagles1986]

Correct you are; the Eagles had a couple songs that featured the mandolin:

- Saturday Night
- Tequila Sunrise
- Lyin' Eyes
- Journey of the Sorcerer
- Midnight Flyer
- Hollywood Waltz

While we are on the topic, I think one band that has been completely left out is Hootie and the Blowfish. They have had several songs with the mandolin. They even had Sam Bush make a guest appearance on mandolin/fiddle on their last album.

Hootie songs with mandolin:

- Running From an Angel
- Honeyscrew
- Tootie
- The Earth Stopped Cold at Dawn
- Innocence
- Alright
- Tears Fall Down
- Leaving
- Waltz Into Me
- Autumn Jones

[zipinbyu]

Shawn Mullins album, "Ninth Ward Pickin' Parlor" has some great mando on several songs. My favorite is the mando in the song "Homemade Wine". Fantastic CD! Wish I could find someone who has some of the mando parts tabbed out. I'm a new player and don't know my way around the fretboard yet.

[Steve Ostrander]

Some others:

John Hiatt: Only the Song Remains, Before I Go

Steve Earle: Billy and Bonnie, many others

Jethro Tull: Fat Man, A Christmas Song

And I do believe that's Dawg pickin' on the Dead's "Friend of the Devil"

[hoffmannia2k7]

white stripes - little ghost
sounds like a guitar too me with a caper

[Jim MacDaniel]

Was I wrong about "Sonny came home?"
You are correct -- there is indeed mando content in that song.

[jefflester]

Maybe someday I'll try to come up with a list of Cowboy Junkies songs featuring Jeff Bird's mandolin stylings. There are a lot of them.

[Elliot Luber]

Sonny Came Home has a big mandolin part.

[mandoplayer286]

paul mccartny dance tonight (obviously)

[Paul Kotapish]

Maybe I missed these on an earlier post, but . . .

Tom Petty has mandolin on a number of tracks and when Howie Epstein was still alive and playing bass with the Heartbreakers, he would often trade off and play mando on several numbers in concert. Heatbreaker guitarist Mike Campbell plays mandolin and bouzouki, too. I really like the way Petty used the cascading mandolin arpeggios on "It'll All Work Out" on the Wildflowers album.

Bay Area rocker Chuck Prophet often has mandolin on his records and in concert. Tom Rozum did a show with him a few years back and played mandolin for most of the concert.

Did anyone mention the Rowan Brothers or Michelle Shocked?

The new Levon Helm record has mandolin all over it.

Many of Buddy Miller's recordings have mandolin on them, too.

[John L]

They have been mentioned, but just for one song. There are many songs by Crash Test Dummies, Blue Rodeo and Steve Earle with mandolin. Another artist that I don't believe has been mentioned is Steve Winwood.

[Zako]

I believe a song on Eric Clapton's unplugged album features a bit of mando...it's called Lonely Stranger.

[Mark Robertson-Tessi]

There's a band out of Austin called Okkervil River that uses mando on several of their albums.

Cheers
MRT

[zipinbyu]

Carbon Leaf, a band out of Virginia, also uses mando in several songs on their latest release.

[stopint]

Waterboys
Fisherman's Blues

[luckylarue]

Don't forget:

The Replacements - "I Will Dare"(w/ Peter Buck on mando) from their seminal lp, Let It Be, and "Here Comes A Regular", from Tim.


Also, another Blind Melon tune, Change, from their first cd.

[crazymandolinist]

RUSH had mando content on Workin Them Angels from their latest album

[lespaul_79]

Rolling Stones - "Factory Girl" I think....

[jim simpson]

Rolling Stones - "Factory Girl" I think....

Yes, played by Dave Mason

[Dave Greenspoon]

There is a whole lot of mandolin throughout Buffett's catalogue. #Also, check out Steve Goodman. #There's a reason he was Jethro Burn's partner after Homer. #Not only will you hear some great Jethro, Steve was known to pick up the dola from time to time.

[SHORTY]

Does any of these songs have a Tab published for mandolin?

[Tosh Marshall]

Some UK Folk Rock stuff not on Niles lists:-

Jack The Lad (Lindisfarne offshoot - Walter 'Ian' Fairbairn on mando, not Ray Jackson) - It's Jack The Lad, Old Straight Track, Rough Diamonds
Five Hand Reel - Five Hand Reel, For A'That, Earl O'Moray
JSD Band - Country Of The Blind, JSD Band, Travellin'Days
Dave Swarbrick - Rags, Reels & Airs (Thanx to Dave Hanson for this one!), Both Ears & The Tail.

Tosh

[Alex Orr]

I'm so glad someone mentioned the Hooters. Nervous Night is an under-rated, and more-or-less forgotten album. The hit single off that record, "And We Danced" is one of the best rock songs of the '80s.

Not only does the song feature a mando, but so does the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOoU_0PAKoI

[Steve Ostrander]

I heard "Hey Hey What Can I Do?" by Led Zeppelin the other day and it sounds like some mando in there.

[Alex Orr]

Anyone else notice the mandocello citation on Cheap Trick's masterpiece, Heaven Tonight? I'm assuming it's buried somewhere on the title track.

[gwileg126]

String Cheese Incident.
They are more of a jamband, but instead of having a lead guitarist they have a mandolin player(usually electric mandolin). His name is Michael Kang, and he is amazing.

[steadypluckinaway]

And on Carnival '99 Michael Kang plays acoustic mando on "Shenandoah Breakdown" and it's amazing. Not rock, per se, but good stuff nonetheless. Drew Emmitt is another under-mentioned mando genius.

[Rick Schmidlin]

Yankee Lady- Jesse Winchester

David Bromberg featured mandolin on some of his recording.

Seal and Crofts, when I saw them peform in the 70's they both played mandolins.

We Will Never Pass This Way Again

[phlattgetit]

I haven't seen anyone mention Holiday Inn from Elton John's Madman Across the Water.I believe it's played by Davey Johnstone. It's a great tone does anybody know what sort of mandolin it is?

[tango_grass]

ripple-grateful dead- a true beauty of a tune.
Yessir...and don't forget Friend Of The Devil. Another great Grateful Dead song...comes fully with solo by Grisman! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

[jefflester]

Joan Osborne's new disc Little Wild One has a couple of mandolin tracks. She has re-teamed with the same folks who she worked on Relish with - The Hooters team of Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman, and producer Rick Chertoff. Much the same way that Relish kicked off with the mandolin on "St. Teresa," the new album kicks off with a mandola driven "Hallelujah in the City," before giving way to more straight rock instrumentation. The other track "Can't Say No," features a mandolin lick as a near constant rhythm, somewhat buried in the mix, but still identifiable as a mando.

In Niles' format:
Osborne, Joan LITTLE WILD ONE Hallelujah in the City Bazilian, Eric opens with mandola
Osborne, Joan LITTLE WILD ONE Can't Say No Bazilian, Eric

[Lefty3]

Butch Walker has a few songs off his new album Sycamore Meadows

Going Back/Going Home

The 3 Kids in Brooklyn

I also watched an episode of Live from Abbey Road with matchbox twenty using a mandolin on How Far We've Come.

[Dragonflyeye]

I went to see the LOUD Scottish rock/folk group The Proclaimers ("I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" - don't ask) with a friend, and one or the other of the Reid twins plays mandolin on some of their songs. Because I'm not familiar with them, I'm not sure which songs, but it's in there somewhere!

[mandelect]

I don't think anyone mentioned the late, great Ronnie Lane, and his band Slim Chance? There were probably a few tracks which featured mandolin but I particularly remember the 1974 single, "How Come".

[johnparrott]

Hey all,

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen mention "In My Own Dream" by the Butterfield Blues Band, with Gene Dinwiddie on the mando.

All the best

[DryBones]

Mississippi Kid by Lynyrd Skynrd

[Lefty3]

Forgot another Butch Walker song called "That Side of You"

[Tosh Marshall]

Amazingly I didn't see Loggins & Messina mentioned.....
Be Free & Brighter Days on Mother Lode and Watching The River Run on Full Sail....

[bigbike]

And no one has mentioned Indigo Girls or even some of Amy Rays solo stuff (punk rock for AMY) and folk rock for Indigo Girls. So many different tunes that the Girls have used mandolin on and at least 5 different ones that are Punkish that Amy has used her Model A Gibson on. I'll try to come up with the tune names tomorrow when I go through the cd's at home.

[Jill McAuley]

Two words I wouldn't expect to see in the same sentence together: "Amy Ray" and "punk rock". I just did a search on youtube for anything by her and I would categorize her music as "rock". I've been listening to punk since 1978 and playing in punk bands since 1986 so I think our definitions of "punk" must be very, very different.

Cheers,
Jill

[journeybear]

I don't know how this thread has slipped under my radar. Thanks to ellebrille for starting this, then disappearing, and bigbike for bringing it back, and thanks to Niles for his massive contrributions - both the lists he found and the recordings by a certain Mr. Hokkanen that might have escaped others' notice. ;)

I've taken some time to compile the various lists, add in subsequent posters' suggestions, plus some of my own, and standardize the list for easier reading. I've organized the list alphabetically by musician and then alphabetically by song title. I've maintained this order while restoring musician's names to conversational normalcy. For example, no one talks about Winter, Johnny - it's Johnny Winter, and it's in the W's. Jethro Tull is in the J's - it's the name of a band, not a person in the band. I've standardized punctuation, capitalization, and alphabetization, using the Leonard Maltin method - this method ignores punctuation and word breaks, so Dr. John follows The Doors, as "dr" is the way his name appears, despite it being a contraction of "doctor," which precedes "doors" alphabetically. That's just the way I do. Also, I capitalize every word in a title - sorry, NY Times stylists. Also, since the thread title mentions "rock", I'm assuming that bluegrass and country are out as well as jazz and blues, while rock and pop are in. I don't think folk belongs either, so as far as I'm concerned, sorry, Amy Ray. Besides, no one has suggested an actual song by name - that's the bottom line for inclusion.

I've left out duplications, suggestions from people that weren't actual songs ("so and so use mandolin on such and such an album" isn't much help), album titles (this is a list of songs), and editorial comments. As far as I'm concerned, since it took two years and 57 posts to get to "Friend of the Devil" :disbelief: - thanks, Steve O - no contributors are entitled to use the phrase "I can't believe no one's said ..." You've forfeited that privilege. ;) I also excluded a balalaika reference, but retained a few mandola citations. I've left in the Townshend/Lane songs for now, but I would appreciate it if anyone could determine whether they feature mandolin or ukulele.

I'm taking people at their word, by and large, as I don't know a lot of these songs and even musicians and am sure not about to research them, as I've put in a few hours on this and that's too much already. If someone says there is mandolin on "Safety Dance," OK fine, but I'm not going to suffer through it to confirm this. Same with that song by Poison. I've removed some duplications and some that didn't jive with my memory. For instance, if someone is sure there is mandolin on Bruce Springsteen's version of "Atlantic City," OK, put it back in, but whoever said that may be confusing it with The Band's version.

Following are my additions. Blue Rodeo has been mentioned, but here are some more from one of my favorite albums, "Five Days In July." I know they have plenty more, but this is the only one of their albums I have with me. Also, Jimmy Ryan has been mentioned - no songs specifically, so he's not on the list - but he is represented here by his work with Blood Oranges and Cheri Knight. I don't have any of Levon Helm's albums at hand, but I am sure there is plenty of mandolin on them, so if anyone has them please add those songs. Same with Sting's new album. I have to look further into the recordings by Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty, as I think some of their songs that sound like they feature mandolin actually have half-scale twelve-strings.

Finally, there are lots of songs missing from this list. I know there's more mandolin in Dan Hicks' recordings, and there are also musicians who have come along since this list was started, like The Ditty Bops and Katzenjammer. But I don't have their albums, so if anyone does, please add their songs. I think this list is supposed to be just studio recordings, too. Oh, yeah, and this list is already nearly twice the 10,000 character limit, so it may be soon that it will have to be broken into three parts!

Amy Ray-Johnny Rotten, Let it Ring-definately has a punk edge to it.
Indigo Girls-Ghost of the Gang, Ozoline,

And both of the above have others that I can't think of right now cause it is 4:45 am and I am tired and finally going to bed.

You may think it has a "punk" edge, but to my ears it simply has a "rock" edge - distorted guitars/fast music do not automatically make something "punk".

Were you involved in the punk scene? Just asking out of curiousity here.

Cheers,

Anything solo recordings by mandolinist Jimmy Ryan (who played mandolin for the Blood Oranges, and for Blood Oranges bandmate Cheri Knight, both listed above by JB).

Also...
Widespread Panic: Pickin' up the Pieces
Peter Mulvey: If Love is not Enough
John Mellencamp: Small Town (acoustic version)
Jayhawks: Mr. Rain
Morphine: In Spite of Me (featuring Jimmy Ryan)

[journeybear]

I am kicking myself because, after collating and editing that list - and being impressed with how many songs were on it - and posting it, of course a few minutes later I remembered having discussed the following a few times the last couple of weeks:

Shakira - Gypsy

I guess every couple of weeks or so, when enough new songs have been mentioned, I'll add them in and repost the list. Keeps my office skills sharp ... ;)

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who knows about Jimmy Ryan, Cheri Knight, and Blood Oranges. Of course there are no videos of Blood Oranges at youtube (they broke up too soon), but there are a good number of Jimmy in various configurations and three (3) of Cheri Knight with Jimmy Ryan in the band.

There's mando on the Cowboy Junkies first two CDs (Trinity Sessions and Caution Horses, respectively; mando player is Jeff Bird). Surprised you guys haven't covered it yet! :)

Cowboy Junkies 200 More Miles
Cowboy Junkies 'Cause Cheap is How I Feel
Cowboy Junkies Escape is so Simple
Cowboy Junkies Mariner's Song
Cowboy Junkies Misguided Angel
Cowboy Junkies Powderfinger (written by N.Young)
Cowboy Junkies Rock and Bird (nice solo!)

I'm wondering about the usefulness of this list. Presumably the OP wanted to document these tunes because they seem few and far between in the world of popular music. But the length of the list seems to indicate that mandolin (even if it is used in cliché or minimalist ways) finds its way into a lot of music.

It's time for a mando based power trio! :))

I hear you. It's long overdue. I'm there for that. But then - what are you gonna do? :confused:

OH! You meant with you playing the mando ... Sorry, can't help there. Unless we can switch off playing bass. Do you play bass? Then all we'd need is a drummer ... :grin:

The length of the list is mostly due to Niles and whatever lists he found on a website - a lot of British folk rock, which even after some serious editing is still really long. I supposea case could be made for two lists - one of songs where mandolin is centra to the song, another where it's more of a coloring - but that sound like an awful lot of input and decisions and time commitment. If someone wants to fund a grant I'll do the work, but all those recordings will have to be donated. Thanks in advance! :) Bear in mind that even as long as this list is, it still pales in comparison to a similar list based on guitar or piano in rock music. ;)

What's killing me is no one's mentioned any songs by Milla Jovovich, despite her being the subject of a lot of posts. Maybe no one's actually bought her record! :))

Besides me, that is:

Milla Jovovich: Gentleman Who Fell
Milla Jovovich: It's Your Life
Milla Jovovich: Charlie
Milla Jovovich: Clock

[mandocrucian]

and thanks to Niles for his massive contrributions - both the lists he found and the recordings by a certain Mr. Hokkanen that might have escaped others' notice

Just a clarification about the nature of my rock/blues/folk-rock mando-discography. For the most part (90%) this is info I've compiled on my own over many, many years - tracks from amongst the 5000+ recordings in my personal library, plus others I've dug out looking through album credits, and from stuff I've heard on XM radio, etc. Plus the tracks that other folks have mentioned in discussions like this which I've added in. (My personal database includes: Artist/Recording Title/Song Title(s)/Mandolin player(s), and comments.)


I'm wondering about the usefulness of this list. Presumably the OP wanted to document these tunes because they seem few and far between in the world of popular music. But the length of the list seems to indicate that mandolin (even if it is used in cliché or minimalist ways) finds its way into a lot of music.

The length of the mando track list is insignificant when compared to the number of tracks on the LPs/CDs that they were extracted from, and those LPs/CDs were but a thin slice of the massive amount of records where mando/OM/etc is nonexistant.

There are plenty of instances where there may have only been one track on an entire album by some group that you would never expect to hear a mando on (e.g. Mott The Hoople - I Wish I Was Your Mother)

How many mando tracks were there on any particular Elton John album? Not that many, but when you had one like "Holiday Inn" (Davey Johnstone on mando), it is definitely worth listening to for a completely different perspective on the instrument. These days, you can buy a specific track rather than picking up the entire disc.

Not only that, in many (if not most) cases, especially with the older stuff, it isn't a full-time mandolinist doing the playing: Dave Pegg, Dave Swarbrick, Richard Thompson, Johnny Winter, Davey Johnstone, Ian Anderson, Rory Gallagher, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Mike Campbell, Duke Levine, Nancy Wilson, John Paul Jones, Sid Page, etc. etc. and the stuff that they play is probably something a "mandolin player" wouldn't ever even think of doing. They are so comfortable with rock and blues grooves (it's what they do), feel them intrinsically, so all that stuff they would do on a guitar or other instrument just naturally emerges on 8-strings.

Go take a listen to some of those classic tracks, and you'll realize that someone else climbed those peaks ages before someone like Bush or Thile ever came along and "got innovative".

I just got a disc from the North Mississippi Allstars (3 actually) from the Zebra Ranch Studios website.

This one disc "Tate County" has some awesome mississippi swamp blues on it, I really dig this one tune "Used To Be", it has a blues groove and has some nice mando on it, I'll admit it doesn't dominate the song, but it's evident..... and nice!

The Zebra Ranch Studios is forging ahead after the loss of it's founder Jim Dickinson. The family is trying to keep that Mississpi Sound alive as is Jimbo Mathus with his Delta Studios... KUDOS to both. Mandolin music with a blues bite is hard to find and I appreciate them both.

For those that dig the sound and would seek to sample, here's the link to the studio....

http://www.zebraranch.com/index.htm

PS. As I stated above I got 3 discs from the store link "Tate County" is sweet, but I also love the historically rich music he gave us in
"Jim Dickinson Field Recordings
Delta Experimental Project Vol. 3"

If you like "legitimate" blues those 2 discs are worth an ear.

[Jim MacDaniel]

I'm not sure you can call most of the songs on the debut CD by The Clark Family's kids Sons of Sylvia "rock", but 50 Ways (http://www.amazon.com/50-Ways/dp/B003HRLY12/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1273093575&sr=1-8) rocks quite hard -- yet the acoustic mandolin totally works well with it, and doesn't get lost in the mix.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Forgot about this one: Wilco's Blue Eyed Soul (http://www.rhapsody.com/wilco/am/blue-eyed-soul), from A.M. (1995).

[zombywoof]

Sid Griffin played mandolin with the Long Ryders and his other groups afterwards.

There was this guy named Rich Brotherton who played mandolin with the Wild Seeds - one of the best "you never heard of" bands to ever walk into a bar. I will have to dig out my copy of "Mud, Lies and Shame" and see what tunes he plays mando on.

[Fishmonger]

The Tossers - Every album and almost every song they ever released.

[nickster60]

Isnt there a song on the radio by Train?

[journeybear]

Yep, "Hey, Soul Sister," but it's ukulele - maybe doubled in the mix. We've yakked about it a bit over here. (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?62250-Mandolins-In-Commercials)

The most popular radio-channel has just made a mandolin-list. I'm sure that here is at least one there that you haven't got on the list, by the Norwegian rock-icon Jokke & Valentinerne. Great song, find it on:

http://nrkp3.no/sexy/topp-5-laater-med-mandolin/

[Plamen Ivanov]

One more by Mike Oldfield that i'm listening to almost everyday: Portsmouth

The info from Wikipedia:

In an attempt to repeat the success of his previous year's Christmas hit, "In Dulci Jubilo", Mike recorded another traditional folk melody dating from 1701 (first known publication), again using Leslie Penning on recorders. The single was just as successful as its predecessor, charting at number 3 in the UK, and became his first non-album single to be issued in the USA. It also charted at number 19 in Ireland. Mike Oldfield plays acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, ARP string synthesiser, tambourine, kettle drum and bodhran (Irish drum), and both Oldfield and Penning are credited with "feet".

[journeybear]

Glad people are still interested in this topic. Once things settle down for me somewhat, a little into next month, and I can devote some time to collating the recent input, I will update the list. It's been a while, it's time. I am going to roll in the recent additions to the Mandolins In Commercials (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?62250) thread also, and will scour other threads as well, including those devoted to the blues. Jimi Hocking deserves to be included for sure. If anyone has more ideas send them in! :mandosmiley:

[Plamen Ivanov]

Yeah, it started almost 5 years ago! :-) What about the idea to keep the list in alphabetical order?

[journeybear]

Well, yes, that's what I meant by collate. And yeah, I see nearly ten months have passed since the last time it was updated. I'd be happy if someone, anyone, else were to do this bit of grunt work, but I don't mind. Just gotta set aside some time. But since it is just a wee bit of a nuisance, I don't want to do this continually, maybe quarterly. That's why I would appreciate people offering as many suggestions as they can over the next week or so. Please take a little time to scan the list (in two parts, posts #95 &#96) first to avoid duplication. Thanks! :mandosmiley:

[Plamen Ivanov]

U2 in "White as snow" from their last album "No line on the horizon". I think i posted this information elsewhere on the Board, but i can't find the post now, because the search engine tells me, that "U2" is too short for searching purposes. Anyway...

Does "Blackmore's Night" count? Few pieces with mandolin there as well.

[Dan Hoover]

hey, don't believe i've seen bob dylan on here? i know dave mansfield,daniel lanois and mike campbell i'm sure others? have all played mandolin w/him..plus the traveling wilburys..george played mando on there...
and john mellencamp?big daddy,lonesome jubilee..has mando on them...as for the songs?i dunno?? i guess i could go through and listen/look up? but i'm sick,blowing nose,coughing..horrible..and i have to go vote yet..oh ok,i'll try...all for the love of the mandolin..unless i fall asleep..cheers

[Jim MacDaniel]

Green Day: Misery (this catchy number also features strings and an accordion)

[journeybear]

OK - I will try to get to rolling the new entries into The List over the weekend. In answer to my own question, having picked up a copy of Little Village recently at a yard sale, Ry Cooder does play mandolin on it but only on the lead off song "Solar Sex Panel" - it's not even listed in the lineup credits, a subtle indicator of the instrument's (un)importance in the context of that band.

And Dan - if you have any definite mandolin credits for Dylan I would love to get them. Really - love to, dearly wish to include him. I have not been paying very close attention to his music since his great album "Time Out Of Mind" so I don't know, but I don't recall ever having heard mandolin in his music, apart from "The Basement Tapes," which I classify more as a The Band release (despite the cover photo showing him mock-playing a bowlback in violin fashion.) Thanks to you or anyone who can enlighten us about Dylan.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Weezer's Hold On features actor Michael Cera on mandolin and backing vocals.

[journeybear]

O-M-G! Just one more reason Michael Cera is my HERO! He is so cool! Michael Cera vs The World!!!




Did that sound enough like a teenage girl? I sure hope so. I mean, like, you know, fer sure ...

[Jim MacDaniel]

lol --but he looks way cooler jamming on a Rick bass.

[journeybear]

As in the movie? Oh yes! But don't we all ... :))

[Ed Goist]

I must be missing this!?...
I've casually scanned the thread/list and haven't seen any mention of Reckless Kelly and Cody Braun's Rickenbacker emando.
Here are a couple of nice, intimate setting videos:

And what is probably their signature tune up to this point:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GqAP9uP5tM

If they've been mentioned before in the thread and I just missed it, I apologize for the redundancy.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Good ones Ed, and here's one featuring Cody on his Rick starting at about 40 seconds into the clip, including a nice little solo at a bit past one minute...

i will check it out jb,not much to go by on some of the credits on dylan's stuff..at least what i have..but,i'll check around online,maybe spend a couple days listening..i'll report back,and if anyone else knows??

[Dan Hoover]

i've always thought there was mando on "Blood on the Track's".. Peter Ostroushko plays on "If you see her,say hello" along w/bob playing mandolin.. http://www.mandozine.com/resources/CGOW/ostroushko.php good read..
"Together through Life" has "Life is Hard" and "This Dream of You" w/Mike Campbell on mandolin...
David Mansfield,Larry Campbell,Larry Meyers have all played mandolin w/Bob..Rolling Thunder Revue,Street Legal,Knocked out Loaded,love/theft.....i use to have street legal,lost a long time ago,don't have the others,or his christmas album,from last year..
didn't get into stuff w/the Band yet,"the basement tapes" w/levon..
i'll be checking..

[Ed Goist]

I Heard Springsteen's 'Glory Days' on a very high quality car stereo yesterday (for the first time since my conversion to Mandolinism), and I was very pleased/surprised by how good the mandolin part sounds!
Is that Miami Steve playing?, and is he playing a vintage oval hole Gibson?
All in all, pretty cool!

[Dan Hoover]

honorable mention.."Remember (Christmas)" by harry nilsson has a Bouzouki on it..

[Dan Hoover]

"if you belonged to me" the Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3..might be others on this album?lost in all those guitars..

[journeybear]

Gee willikers, Dan! You are really showing some devotion to this project - and surely listening to some great music along the way. ;) May I assume that was George playing it with the Wilburys? He did play it a bit. Any further news on Dylan? And Ed - I believe it was indeed Steve VZ playing, as he played it in the recent concert movie. :mandosmiley:

[SavannahGAMandoMan]

Alot of the celtic punk bands use mandolin in their tunes... ex: Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Flatfoot 56

[journeybear]

Hey there! Welcome to the Café! Well, yes, of course you're right ... but we're looking for specific citations here. Performer name and song title. Thanks!

[Dan Hoover]

May I assume that was George playing it with the Wilburys? He did play it a bit. Any further news on Dylan?

yup,george..i've been sidetracked checking out mandolin on Dylan's stuff,i recently picked up bob dylans "the witmark demos 1962-1964"..no mando,but great stuff..a lot of stuff to play a long with.or for me,try to....

And fans of The Waterboys, same thing...please list the three songs by The Waterboys that most prominently and effectively showcase mandolin (oh, and it would be nice if they were good songs also).

Thanks.

Seems appropriate for early on Christmas (http://www.myspace.com/jethrotull/music/songs/christmas-song-2001-digital-remaster-34580112).
Enjoy!

[journeybear]

Just trying to keep things right - I don't hear any mandolin on "Song For Jeffrey". Some nice acoustic guitar, particularly the slide work, but no mandolin. Too bad - one of my favorite Tull songs.

And I would say "Fat Man," "Tall Thin Girl," "Fat Man," in that order. ;)

[Ed Goist]

We need to add Levon Helm You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had to our list. Like Tennessee Jed it's on the Electric Dirt album, and mandolin is the lead instrument. It's a great tune, with a steady tremolo held through much of the song, and with killer vocals by Helm. You can listen to the song here (http://www.myspace.com/levonhelm/music/songs/you-can-t-lose-what-you-ain-t-never-had-50670020).

[mrmando]

Alpha Band: "Keep It in the Family"
Alpha Band: "Mighty Man"
Alpha Band: "Rich Man"
Alpha Band: "Not Everything Has a Price"

The mandolinist is David Mansfield (the dude from Bruce Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain" video), who composed the soundtrack for Robert Duvall's film The Apostle and has posted here a couple of times. Believe he played an old Gibson A on the Alpha Band sessions. If anyone ever compiles a "rock songs with violin" thread, they should take note of David's kickin' fiddle break on "Dark Eyes."

[mandelect]

"Sunday Walking Lady" from Wally, one of my favourite bands in 1974. They were discovered by Bob Harris & Rick Wakeman and signed to Atlantic. At the time, they were described as symphonic prog rock, but always sounded more country/folk rock to me. Check out the track "The Martyr" which was probably the closest they got to prog rock.

The first album credits Pete Sage as the mandoline player - he probably did play on the studio recording of this track, but it's Paul Middleton playing on this youtube clip. Simple strumming, but a nice track nevertheless.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmFvZE8-djc&NR=1

[Jim MacDaniel]

Thanks so much for posting that vid; I loved that song, and totally wore out the grooves on that album.

Here is another 70's "prog rock" band featuring mandolin (emando in this case) that I listened to a lot back in the day.

mY9NVFhZlkg

4zose15iYVM

[mandelect]

Thanks so much for posting that vid; I loved that song, and totally wore out the grooves on that album.

Hey Jim - It was the fiddle part which hooked me too! I saw Wally live in Barrow-in-Furness, UK around '74. A very memorable gig; there seemed to be quite a few spaced out jam sections in between numbers; I remember being stunned by the sound of the pedal steel through various echo units - much more Mellotron live too. Minimal mandolin in that song, but it does add a little seasoning!

I got to hear FM in the mid/late '70's, but I've not seen any vids of Nash the Slash before :-)

[Jim MacDaniel]

You can several other FM and Nash vids on YT. My favorites are of live performances in the 70's as above, but there are some pretty bad 80's era MTV-type videos you can check out there as well - lol

[JimmyPageManczak]

There is also a Led Zeppelin song that is called "That's the Way" It has an outstanding mandolin part that is awesome. Wanted to help you to add a song. I will look up some more for you to add to the list momentarily

Led Zeppelin overall is one of the best bands I have ever came across. Jimmy Page and the whole group have so many talents and John Paul Jones was even a multi-instrumentalist. I agree with you.

[Ed Goist]

I believe Jones played ALL the mandolin parts on Led Zeppelin III...Brilliant!
I'm pretty sure that Battle of Evermore from IV was Page's first go at the mandolin (not bad for a first go, aye? :disbelief: )

[Plamen Ivanov]

Just got REM's new album. Will report about the mandolin playing.

[Kevin McELvanney]

This is my first time posting a video on the forum so hope it works!:) Not exactly mando content but Warren Ellis of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds knows his way around mandolin as well as zouk and fiddle. Pretty sure he was playing electric mandolins when I saw him in Edinburgh, Scotland (think it was 2009?)







http://youtu.be/d1fzqtTV2EE

[Jim MacDaniel]

Cool stuff. You can find other vids at YT of Warren playing his signature model Eastwood eTenor, as well as a Fender mandocaster.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Green Day: Misery (this catchy number also features strings and an accordion)

I didn't find an official video on YT, but here is the track, with Billie Joe's mandolin part starting at ~3:35.

JeGs9O7C3IM

[Ed Goist]

Jim; thanks for posting.
Nice example of the mandolin used to convey a "Euro" or "Continental" feel (as opposed to a Bluegrass of Celtic feel).
Good stuff.

[Kevin McELvanney]

Jim, thanks for posting that. Greenday with mandolin:disbelief:, I used to be heavily into them in my mid/late teens (i'm 31 now:) ) I wouldn't have them imagined playing this kind of stuff back then, I also wouldn't have known what a mandolin was back then nevermind the fact that it would become my instrument of choice :)). For that kind of Easten European sound I like Gogol Bordello, although I think they lack any mandolin family instruments.

Kevin

[Jim MacDaniel]

Just checked out a vew Gogol vids on YT, and really dug them -- thanks for the lead.

Though based in Israel & NYC, Balkan Beatbox also has a Eastern Euro feel, esp. the horn section; they are more world beat than anything else if I had to classify them, sort of a Hip Hop/Balkan Trad mélange. They have a few songs on YT if either of you are so inclined, but you can check out a higher quality vid on FB: http://www.facebook.com/balkanbeatbox.

Some lovely mandolin on Chris Robinson's first solo "New earth Mud" - check out "Barefoot By The Cherry Tree".

Thanks, Darren. I'll have to get my hands on this. I've always appreciated Robinson's voice, and "open jam" style.
Here is a nice write-up (http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6066795/a/New+Earth+Mud.htm) on the album. According to this, mandolin credits go to Marc Roy.

[Darren Bailey]

Worth picking up Ed. I'm off to see the crowes in London in July and I'm hoping hard they let Luther loose with the mandobird he was playing on the early part of the tour. I've been a big fan of Chris' singing for many many years - caught them on every tour since High as the Moon around 92/93. Word is that Rich has recorded a new solo album up in Woodstock - hopefully there'll be some acoustic stuff in there alongside what he does so well.

Wow! Good call! Who knew? Well, someone did - like you, and whoever uploaded this.

Found more from the late great Ronnie Lane and whoever the mysterious mandolin guy is. This one features it more prominently, and even with the classic Faces approach of doubling a riff with the bass. Mandolin and bass doubling - sweet! :mandosmiley:

And again - title track from the 1973 album, "Anymore For Anymore." Mandolin and accordion, years ahead of so many others. Boy, did this ever slip past my radar!

I think there is a bit of mandolin at the start one, though he plays mostly harmonica on this one. Nice steel guitar too.

Ronnie Lane Debris Live 1974:mandosmiley:

Lovely! And now we have a sub-category...listing of rock songs w/bowlback mando

[journeybear]

A little research on Ronnie Lane turned up the following:

Graham Lyle played mandolin on "Anymore for Anymore" (1973). Steve Simpson played mandolin on "Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance" (1974) and "One for the Road" (recorded 1975, released 1976). I assume this is the guy in the later videos, as he also is credited with harmonica, guitar, and keyboards. BTW, "Debris" and "How Come" aren't on any of these albums. How come? :confused:

This is all a little sketchy. If someone knows more please let us know. Thanks!

[mandelect]

"How Come" was a big chart hit single over here in the UK, and it is very familiar to most of us who grew up in the 70's - it still gets lots of airplay on the mainstream radio stations.

Another couple of 70's bands, in a similar vein, who used a mandolin occasionally were: McGuinness Flint and Gallagher and Lyle. Hasn't "When I'm Dead And Gone" been mentioned yet?

...check out 70's band Jack The Lad, for more folk-rock mandolin; "Why Can't I Be Satisfied" springs to mind, we also played the 'b' side of their first single on the college jukebox a lot - the single was ’One More Dance’ and it's 'b' side was the ‘Draught Genius (Polka)'.

[journeybear]

Then it's all the more odd that it wasn't on any of the aforementioned albums. Although I am getting this information from wikipedia, I find they are usually pretty reliable about such things.

Thanks for your input on this and the other bands you mentioned. Jack The Lad is new to me, heard of the others. Take a spin through the Search Thread function to see what if anything has already been mentioned, and if you wouldn't mind, post a list of whatever hasn't been mentioned yet. Personal knowledge is best, as oftentimes mandolin players on albums may be listed, but not track-by-track contributions. I believe the goal is to have a list of all rock songs which include mandolin, a more specific consideration than rock albums that do. Posts #95 & #96 contain the collated alpha list as of a year and a half ago, which needs to be updated. Bit by bit we are edging toward completion. Not that this is ever truly attainable, but we are trying ... sometimes very trying ... :mandosmiley:

[Tosh Marshall]

Another Britsh treasure from the early 70's, Dando Shaft, featuring the great Martin Jenkins, who went on to play with Bert Jansch and Dave Swarbrick.....

SIVprVv1Iao

Another couple of great Folk Rock bands from that period were the JSD Band and Five Hand Reel.

[mandelect]

Just listened to the great Alan Hull solo album "Pipedream", from 1973 - not heard it for years.

Tracks with mandolin: "Money Game", "STD 0632" and the wonderful "United States Of Mind" - I can't find any live video of the album version but you can hear it on youtube:

*ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqe7XgBrAE4

[journeybear]

It is really great to hear about all these bands and musicians! I had no idea all this was happening - on this side of the pond they didn't get much airplay, at least I never encountered them.

So please, for the purpose of this thread, which has become something of a project, please list for us all as many songs by them that feature mandolin. This is for more than just chat, this is hopefully for the enlightenment of everyone interested in these matters, which we find so fascinating, and also for future generations! That's right - it's for the kids. Do it for the kids! :)

Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to do that. Much appreciated. :mandosmiley:

[Tosh Marshall]

I am sad to report that Martin Jenkins passed away last month in Sofia Bulgaria. As far as I'm concerned, he simply was one of the best mandolinists from this side of the pond and unfortunately I never got to see him play. However his music lives on and a brief discography of his is:

Dando Shaft - An Evening With Dando Shaft 1970
Dando Shaft - Dando Shaft 1971
Dando Shaft - Lantaloon 1972
Dando Shaft - Kingdom - 1977
Plainsong - In Search Of Amelia Earhart - 1972

Word cloud (http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3818466/Rock_Songs_Featuring_Mandolin) inspired by this thread thus far.

[mandelect]

Just listened to "Hymns For Bast~rds" by Paddy and The Rats - excellent Hungarian Celtic Punk band, with lots of mandolin on show. Love the full ahead punk stuff but the mandolin is more noticeable on the ballads:

"You Never Walk Alone" (Not the Rodgers & Hammerstein / Gerry & the Pacemakers You'll Never Walk Alone)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGgIxekRG8&feature=related

"Paddy's Ballad";

Anybody mention Dropkick Murphys?

[fredfletcher]

A Rory Gallagher song that has not been mentioned is "Going to my hometown". Rory was such a talented musician!

[fredfletcher]

Here are two links to Rory Gallagher's "Going to my hometown" on YouTube, ENjoy!

OK, been all up and down this thread, and here's one that seems to have flown under the radar thus far. Guess we don't have enough hardcore metal fans on the Cafe:

"Reload" by Ministry, from Filth Pig (1996), with front man Al Jourgensen on mandolin. He even takes a lead break!

Here's a YouTube clip of a live performance. Lyrics are definitely not family-friendly, so proceed at your own risk:

If that's not enough, someone recently attempted to auction one of Al's mandolins (a cheap Samick-made axe branded "Alabama") for $3,500. Heck, if you want it, it's probably still available:

Anybody mention Dropkick Murphys?

They have been mentioned - if only once, and without any specific songs. This is a listing of rock songs w/mando, so for this to be a true resource we need song titles, not just band names.


A Rory Gallagher song that has not been mentioned is "Going to my hometown."

It has, too, of course it has, several times. And it is on the alpha list I compiled a couple years ago, posts #95 & 96. The list is too long to be contained in one post.

Every now and then I say I am going to update the list, and I guess it is getting to be time to make good on that. Maybe if the list appears more recently in the thread it will be more readily seen by those wondering whether this or that song is on it. Also, since the Mayan calendar is running out soon and the world is going to end, it would be nice to have this as complete as possible, just in case other civilizations in faraway galaxies are able to pick up our signal. Of course, if anyone else wants to do the grunt work, I would be happy to edit. Hint hint. ;) :grin: :whistling:

[journeybear]

So ... I started working on updating the list, and thought I would jump right in with Rory Gallagher. Members have mentioned four songs by him, and "Going To My Home Town" (note official spelling) gets mentioned so much this seemed a good place to start. I went to the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Gallagher)and his website, (http://www.rorygallagher.com/#) since I have no better source for this information. But I ran into some problems, which I hope his fans - or at least album owners - can help solve. On the albums "Blueprint" and "Tattoo" there are mandolin credits, but I don't know which songs it is played on. On "Top Priority" Tom Brock gets a mandolin credit, but not sure which song(s) he plays on - indeed, the official website doesn't mention him at all. On "Fresh Evidence," his last studio album, the wiki has no instrument credits at all - though his website does have a mandola credit for him again, no song citation. I don't see the song "Leaving Town Blues," cited by a member, on any album. There is a song called "Leavin' Blues," on a Taste album, with no mandolin credit. This entry is going in the dust bin unless someone provides a citation. In all this I learned that "Going To My Home Town" seems to be a live-only number, though it does appear on the posthumously released acoustic album "Wheels Within Wheels," a collection of lost recordings and outtakes. The guitar on that version is played by skiffle great Lonnie Donegan. I'd like to hear that. :cool:

So there went an hour, with not much progress. :crying: Now I remember why I've put off further work on this. And this is over just four songs - er, make that three - oh, wait, there might be more ... see what I mean? Please, Rory Gallagher fans - look through your albums, listen to the ones I mentioned, let us know which songs feature mandolin. Thank you!

Maybe this is a bit of unfinished business I needed to get done before year end, maybe it’s a Christmas present to those interested (there are 12 days of Christmas, after all - or by my reckoning, 13, if you count Epiphany on January 6 ... but I digress), maybe I went to sleep too early last night and woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep so I needed some mundane task to lull me back to sleep, which didn’t work because I got too involved with it ... maybe ...

Anyway, I took the time to roll in songs mentioned since the last time I collated this. I did what I could, but I found a lot of suggestions of bands or albums, which I cannot do much with. For this to work, please offer contributions, not commentary. I mean, comments are all good and well, and yes, it’s good to know so and so did such and such (so grateful to learn of Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, for instance), but in order to be included in this list what is needed is the band/artist name and the song name, nothing more. Not even the mandolinist’s name - well, OK, but these songs will be listed by the band’s name. Also, please take the time to read the list - what the hey, why not? - or at least do a search (CTL + F) to see if a song is missing before offering an entry. I’ll work them in, in due time, but it would be helpful to follow the existing format, which is

Band Name - Song Title

separated by hyphen, not colon, and first letter in caps, even small words. If contributing more than one song from a band/artist, please alphabetize by song title.

At the end of the list are a bunch of bands which have been mentioned previously and are either underrepresented or not at all. As much as I would like to see this list be as complete as possible, I am not going to devote a lot of time to research. A lot of what is here already is based on unverified contributions; I am taking people at their word, for the most part. Ths is a labor of love, not library science. ;) If you have an album or access to info that will give us track by track contributions, please share this. I can’t do much with album info. I may at some point throw some in, if there is mandolin on each track, but for now I am holding to the premise that this is a list of rock songs with mandolin on them.

Finally, please don’t quote the entire list in a response! :disbelief: This is taking up enough room on the server as it is, and has to be broken into two parts. There are over 400 songs so far - which is really pretty nice to see. It’s a good start. :)

Thank you, and I apologize if my tone is a bit short. Maybe I am getting a bit sleepy after all ... but I have said this in a few ways before, and it would be nice if people would see how these suggestions would make this project easier.

Enjoy! Discuss! Share!

[Barry Wilson]

Thanks again for doing this Mr Rolling Stone. I love going through this list listening (as I am now) to hear mandolin, though I find it hard to hear mando in some of the selections

[journeybear]

Not digging the reference, nor the reason or purpose. This is a straight alpha list, not a ranking, of rock songs which include mandolin in some capacity. Quality control is pretty lax, actually, and I am going on faith most of the time. I don’t think I have heard even half of these, and if people say there’s mandolin on these, that’s good enough for me. Still, some of these are fascinating, and a real kick to hear unexpected uses by hardly mando-centric bands like Green Day and Styx and others. And as I said, as many entries as there are here, we have only scratched the surface. Mandolin has clearly shown up a LOT more than on the few same handful of overly requested songs that are all too familiar to us but are all that the vast majority can name. That right there is a good reason for doing this. :mandosmiley:

[Ed Goist]

JB; What a great resource!
Thanks so much for pulling all this together. That was a lot of work, and it's much appreciated!
To provide some update on Cowboy Junkies, Jeff Bird's e-mando can be heard on every song (in the left channel...how cool is that!) of the new release "Sing in My Meadow".
The songs are:
Continental Drift
It's Heavy down Here
3rd Crusade
Late Night Radio
Sing In My Meadow
Hunted
A Bride's Price
I Move On
(Oh, and the last three tracks feature some classic e-mando wailing! :grin:)

[journeybear]

I had a feeling that might be the case. Same with Seals & Crofts and a few others that use mandolin a lot. I mean, if you’re a duo and one of you plays mandolin as your main instrument, there will be a lot of songs in your repertoire that belong on this list. I just don’t have the resources (ie, CDs) to include more. Another band that deserves more mentions is The Ragbirds, who were here for two days, and there was a lot of mandolin in their sets, especially early. But I wasn’t about to shell out $50 for their four latest releases. It was tempting though; they’re a lot of fun.

[Barry Wilson]

I joke about the rolling stone part because you were playing the part in the top 100 guitar player list hehe. had me wondering until you admitted you weren't later...

[journeybear]

Oh! I see. I mean, I do now, but I had to go back to that thread and see what happened. You see, when Jann Wenner spoke through me, it was like a demonic possession - his consciousness superseded mine and I had no recollection of the event. :disbelief: The horror! :crying: I can only imagine what he did with my body while he was in control of my mind. :disbelief: So far I have not noticed any ill aftereffects, but I can’t stop worrying that some unforeseen consequence will rear its ugly head without warning. I wonder if I let myself in for this when I got my lifetime subscription. Should have read all of the fine print ... :whistling:

[Jim MacDaniel]

A standout Steve Earle mando song to add: Galway Girl

[journeybear]

Yessir! There are plenty that have been overlooked, and that’s one, for sure.

Somehow this got me thinking about going through the Women With Mandolins thread for candidates for this list. Then i got to thinking about what makes a song rock rather than country ... For instance the Sons Of Sylvia song is clearly rock, from a band that is usually considered country. On the other hand, someone mentioned Dierks Bentley’s version of U2's song "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" by Dierks Bentley with The Punch Brothers & Del McCoury. This is a bluegrass version of a rock song, so doesn't belong, to my thinking. While I would like Sam Bush on the list, I think it would have to be on songs that were clearly rock. Even what he has done with Emmy Lou Harris tends toward country or bluegrass - though I haven't listened to any of that in a while, and could be wrong. Also, it seems a shame Grisman can't be on here more, but his music is so acoustically oriented I don't see how it can be included.

Of course, all of this includes grey areas in definitions, and lines move all the time. :whistling:

[mandocrucian]

This same thread, Page 2 (Jan 2006) (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?18398-listing-of-rock-songs-w-mando/page2)

[journeybear]

Yes? Do you mean posts #36-39? I think I rolled all of that into this alpha list. If I missed anything let me know. It's a little hard to read, lacking punctuation.

Keep in mind, people, I am doing this only by default. Well, OK, devotion, too. ;) But I haven't seen anyone else step up in this capacity, and it needed to be done, so I did what I did. Anyone who wants to take over, feel free to do so. I would be happy to do no more than edit and organize. And I think my days of sifting through long lists for non-duplicated entries are over. I believe it is the responsibility of contributors to this list to make sure their entries are not duplications. We all have other things to do. I could use some practice, and I think there's a football game on. I can combine those two activities, but not this as well. And I'd like to get something done before nap time ... :sleepy:

[Dan Hoover]

i just remembered something about jaco pastorius playing mandocello on "the juggler" and "birdland"..but,that's jazz..too laid back for rock&roll..:)

[Steve Ostrander]

A standout Steve Earle mando song to add: Galway Girl

Yep, and I believe that is Steve himself playing on those songs. Lots of mando on Steve's work, although he had Peter Rowan playing mando and some guitar on "Train a Comin' CD and on The Mountain CD it was Ronnie McCoury's tasteful mandolin work.

Of course the list refers to rock music, but where do you draw the line? If it has drums, it's rock, I guess...so The Mountain CD is out and Train a Comin' CD is in? Tough call...

[journeybear]

Just picked up REM's "Out Of Time" at a yard sale, and I see that Peter Buck plays mandolin not only on "Losing My Religion" but also "Half A World Away." That brings their total of songs featuring his playing to eight, more than I'd thought, but nice to learn, thanks to our knowledgeable members. I wonder if this constitutes sufficient contribution to the mandolin lexicon for Mr. Buck to be considered a mandolinist. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mandolinists) :confused:

[Jared Heddinger]

Would this count? (1:40 for the music)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdR6R2YYjn8

[journeybear]

Works for me. Nice sound; reminds me of Blue Rodeo. Do they have more songs with mandolin, albums, etc?

[Jared Heddinger]

Most of their songs have some sort of mando content. Echo Echo is a great album all around.

To name a few other songs off the top of my head:

"Let You Troubles Roll By",
“Comfort",
"What About Everything" (the rhythm is a chop beat), and
"Wandrin’ Around" has a bit.

[journeybear]

Thanks for putting the word out about these guys. Good stuff! And thanks for the song titles. This is a list of songs with mandolin, after all, and this is necessary info for that to work. :)

[Jared Heddinger]

No problem!

[McGruff]

My favorite rock mando is Billy Holmes' playing on the Killing Floor album by Vigilantes of Love. It's on most of the cuts; "Anybody's Guess" is a particular standout.

Mark Heard played a National Silvo mandolin on every cut of his Satellite Sky disc. Managed to make it sound like a guitar most of the time.

Check out John Kruth sometime ... heavy mando on most of his CDs, particularly The Cherry Electric.

Heard and Mallonee are probably in my top 5 artists all-time. Didn't expect to see their names come up here . . .

[Geordie]

Try this;

Gentle Giant - "In A Glass House"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgUpLcnLkxs

Gary Green plays mandolin on this one. '70s prog rock at it's best!

[jab]

didn't see these on the list. Mando a big part of these John Hiatt songs (all from Crossing Muddy Water)
- Crossing Muddy Water
- God's Golden Eyes
- Lincoln town
- Gone

[Jim MacDaniel]

Good find -- I loved those guys back in the day, but forgot all about them until your post.

[mrmando]

Carter Gravatt is the mandolinist for Carbon Leaf, if anyone is keeping track.

[mrmando]

Gentle Giant also used a one-string instrument called the "Shulberry"...

[The Root Beer Of All Evil]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ap5FNPz7b4

There's some mandolin deep in the mix on The Push Stars' "Any Little Town" circa 1998(?). With regards to the alt-rock I tend to come across, I don't hear a lot of examples like this one, where the mandolin goes shoulder-to-shoulder (with what I'm guessing is a capoed guitar, or three) and truly sounds like part of the team.

[Phil1580]

I've been on a big Springsteen kick lately, been listening to him my whole life and can't believe I never heard anything from "Nebraska" growing up....."Atlantic City" (which has been mentioned) is one of my favorites. Mando part is more prominent on the 2001 Live in NYC version, Van Zandt in the video is playing an Ovation.

My contribution to the list is off the brand new Springsteen "Wrecking Ball" album....good disc by the way. "Land of Hope and Dreams" has a great mando riff.....1st time this song is on a studio album, but it was also on the aforementioned live disc.

[journeybear]

I have to admit, I'm freaking out a bit here. A facebook friend posted something from The Big 3 that includes a riff very similar to the melody from Shocking Blue's "Venus," which led me to post what a great under-appreciated (here in the USA) band they were, and how one of the best dollars I ever spent was on a used LP of theirs, as the rest of the album was as good if not beter than the big hit. Then looking through youtube and finding a whole lot more than what I have heard on the two LPs of theirs I own, I found this - with a decent mandolin break! :disbelief: The sound is a bit better on the first one, more of a video presentation on the second.

[GreenCoMick]

Fury In The Slaughterhouse - "When I'm Dead & Gone"
German band....

[GreenCoMick]

Don't think that's mando on Hey, Hey, just capo'd guitarllll

[Cabbagehead]

Remembered this song from High School, the other day. Looked it up, and low and behold found the Headbangers Ball clip that turned me onto this band. Not for nothing John Paul Jones arranged the strings. Yes there is mando content!

[Ed Goist]

Here's a delightful live version (starting at ~2:25) of Jethro Tull's Skating Away (On The Thin Ice Of The New Day) featuring Dave Pegg on Mandolin.

Oh, the first 2:24 is fantastic too, but there's no MC. :)

[mandroid]

Just heard Ry Cooder and his new song 'Wall street side of town' he has a mandolin track in the mix.

[dorotik]

Just heard Ry Cooder and his new song 'Wall street side of town' he has a mandolin track in the mix.

A few comments:

1. I don't think Steve Miller's Dance, Dance, Dance uses a mandolin- possibly a banjo- it doesn't list this instrument in the discography for the album at all.

2. The Who uses a mandolin on Mike Post's Theme and Two Thousand Years on its Endless Wire CD.

3. I know many may not be a fan of his on this board, but I was listening to a song from Rick Springfield on a 2007 release (Venus in Overdrive) called Saint Sahara- I could swear it sounds like he's playing a mandolin in the background- hard to tell, but it sure sounds like it.

Thanks for doing that. Welcome to the Café! :mandosmiley: The alpha breaks are a nice touch, too. It crossed my mind a little while ago it was getting to be time for an update, the halfway point of the year coming up - this is such a large file I think it's best to update only periodically. Glad to see someone else is willing to step up and do some grunt work. However, there are a bunch of contributions that have come in since the last update (posts #189-190) that need to be rolled in as well. I know - it's a pretty thankless task ... but hey, I did thank you. ;) And welcome you, if a bit belatedly. :)

[jdyoungca]

You can also add "Workin' Them Angels" by Rush, which features a Mandolin lead part in the instrumental break. The part is written for mandolin, but when I saw it played live Alex Lifeson was using a Mandola capo'ed at the 7th fret, which would move everything up a 5th and make it essentially a Mandolin as far as tuning goes.

[Ed Goist]

"Alone Without You" by The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello)
He mentioned the video below in his most recent YouTube Q&A (yesterday) as being his favorite video of all those he's made (all bands!).

dVyNM5mknnc

[RocklickerSA]

OK so this conversation is about 6 years old but I reckon the list must include the wonderful Pussy Willow by Jethro Tull (check the you tube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWavcYCKwcA) and also Rise by Eddie Vedder. Speaking of Jethro Tull, I think the mandolin features on many of their wonderful acoustic songs, and there is even a song bemoaning the theft of one of the members mandolins on tour (Big Riff and the Mando).

[RocklickerSA]

I'm not actually sure that all the JT songs on the list actually do feature mandolin but perhaps I just haven't listened properly (Dun Ringill? really). Anyway, my choices would be Acres Wild, Weathercock (both of which I'm pretty sure do use mandolin and both of which pass as good songs also), but the best is missing from the list - Pussy Willow. There are some good you tube videos of Ian playing the mandolin and singing this song. Interestingly, I'm not so sure the studio album version does use mandolin - if its there its hiding behind louder instruments.

[journeybear]

Hey now and welcome to the Café!

This thread may indeed have begun six years ago but it is being kept alive by a lot of people with a lot of diverse backgrounds and a lot of diverse musical tastes and experience. Also, by the fact that rock and roll will never die. ;) Hey hey my my! My main contribution is organization, which is more grunt work than knowledge. I have no idea what most of these songs are - no one person does, unless they have an enormous collection - and am going on faith much of the time. Faith is defined as believe without proof, and I am taking people at their word most of the time. And also erring on the side of inclusion. So there may well be some songs on the list that don't belong, but as far as I'm concerned they should stay unless verified otherwise. I think this is about studio recordings rather than live, so unless someone posts otherwise, I will include that even though I haven't heard it when I do the semi-annual update end of the month. And Rise is on the list. Scan through posts #225-227 for the most recent version.

Keep 'em coming, boys and girls! And keep mando rocking in the free world! :mandosmiley:

[journeybear]

Oh, and FWIW & BTW - I am considering starting a page at wikipedia for this, after the next update. Might as well make this oh-so-fascinating information available for all. I've done a goodly amount of editing there but never started a page, so this ought to be, um, fun - yeah, that's it. ;) If anyone has been down that road before, please PM me with tips. Also, I'd like to hear suggestions for an image to use, something emblematic. If you have, or see while surfing, something you think would be just the thing, please post it. And if things get out of hand - again, just PM me. I know - asking for random contributions from this bunch of wankers - what could go wrong? :confused: :grin: :whistling:

[artilleryo]

Tori Amos' Cornflake Girl has a mandolin intro.

[billkilpatrick]

listening to the 1979 "tusk" album by fleetwood mac (current, i ain't.) someone (buckingham?) plays mandolin on several tracks. interesting album - didn't know "sara" was on it - gave me goosebumps:

[lukmanohnz]

Amazingly I didn't see Loggins & Messina mentioned.....
Be Free & Brighter Days on Mother Lode and Watching The River Run on Full Sail....

Be Free just popped up on my iPod in the car at lunch. Wow - what a beautiful use of mandolin in a pop/rock tune! It's great to stumble across a gem like this after literally decades since I last heard the tune (and nearly as many years before I took up the instrument). I was a huge L&M fan back in the 70's, but have barely listened to them since my vinyl collection was sent out to the garage to collect dust many years ago. I still have all those old records - can't seem to part with them. I will have to review the lists in this thread more carefully and see what other mandolin-rich tunes are languishing in my old vinyl collection.

I've been following this thread for awhile so here's my two cents worth...
Blind Melon - Change
Sonny Landreth - She Left Me a Mule

I guess this won’t be familiar to anyone north of Darwin but what the heck. Music is music.

Got a mandolin a week ago. Was messing round with some basic chords when a long dormant memory resurfaced

“Gypsy Queen” by Country Radio back in 1972

This version has no video but the audio is much better, especially for hearing mandolin in the mix

Another (more recent) Australian band, Weddings Parties Anything used mandolin in tracks such as “Manana, Manana”, “Never Again” “Step In Step Out”and “Hug My Back”
They also employed mandolin on their covers of Dylan’s “If You Gotta Go” and The Triffids “Wide Open Road”

Weddoes singer/songwriter Mick Thomas performing “Hug My Back” solo with mando. Recorded with what appears to be an early phone camera

I’ll leave others to decide whether these should be added to the list

The Lumineers use mando pretty regularly Stubborn Love is my new fav.

From Joan Armatrading's stunning 1976 debut: "Somebody Who Loves You"

"Stealing" by Gavin DeGraw also has some subtle mandolin in the chorus. It starts at 2:20

How about a little industrial-post rock?
For those that can not stand the entire opus, the mando starts at about 8:45 ~:>

Hi this is one of the most interesting forums. Agreed. Way too little rock with mandolin. Tried to look for some of the tracks you mentioned, that of Heart, Alan Parsons Project and Mike Oldfield. Still hunting. Thanks for a wonderful forum and a horizon widening post

[Pasha Alden]

Hi apologies if I missed anything, but I have a version of 99 by Toto, beautiful live version where the mando is played. Absolutely love mandolin rain by bruce Hornsby. Have a live version of it and just love that mandolin solo. Best Vanillamandolin

Hi the Hooters? Yep. Thought I spotted mando in "and we danced". You have confirmed it. Best Vanillamandolin
