I received Mandolin Blues (Testament Records) for Christmas. It contains work by Johnny Young (7 tunes), Yank Rachell (5), Carl Martin (2), Ted Bogan (1) and Willie Hatcher (3).
I would highly recommend it for mandolin blues enjoyment or as a mandolin blues learning tool. Each tune is heard with at most two other instruments (and voice) so that the mandolin can always be heard clearly and alalyzed for learning tremolo, chording, and other techniques. For those new to blues mandolin it is a treasure of blues techniques and style.
