The ones with the mando on are very clearly mandolin based: it's some of the first tracks on cd MO14006 in the collection of blues at www.juneberry78s.com If you write the people they will kindly send you a password to download the stuff. I also recommend MO14002 which is Rev Edward Clayborn plus some other folks. A stand out track is 'Down on me' by Eddie Head and Family, which is frankly an odd collecion of title and artist for a gospel song...
