    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!)
    Cowboy Junkies Misguided Angel
    ---

    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?

    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 ...

    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

    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.

    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 rocks quite hard -- yet the acoustic mandolin totally works well with it, and doesn't get lost in the mix.

    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.

    Yep, "Hey, Soul Sister," but it's ukulele - maybe doubled in the mix. We've yakked about it a bit over here.

    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:

    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".

    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 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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
