Yank Rachell (born James Rachell near Brownsville, Tennessee, March 16, 1910; d. Indianapolis, Indiana, April 9, 1997) was an American blues musician. Rachell, whose career as a performer spanned nearly eighty years, was often teamed with the guitarist and singer Sleepy John Estes. Though a capable guitarist and singer, he was better known as a master of the blues mandolin. In his later years he appeared in filmmaker Terry Zwigoff's documentary about fellow musician Howard Armstrong and was a featured performer with John Sebastian and the J-Band.
