The new version is in a laid-back acoustic style, featuring Sambora playing the Mandocello as the primary instrument.
The Mandolinquents was formed in the aftermath of The Mandolin All Stars (1995 - 1997) in which Simon Mayor and Hilary James were joined by Maartin Allcock (mandocello) and Chris Leslie (mandolin, violin), both of whom are variously associated with the British folk-rock bands Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull and The Albion Band.
