Welcome aboard Mrpotaitohead,
We mic up our cajon with a Shure Beta 52, right in the sound hole. Lately I have added a C2 on the front to catch more of the snares, but it does get in the way. LP has a special mic holder for cajons but is very mic specific. I find the Beta 52 works well for our situation. We run the mic thru a Bose T1 set for the Beta 52 and then into a Bose L1 with two subs. When our percussionist starts playing those low bass notes people take notice. I hope that helps. I have no idea about the tunes you mentioned; however, the cajon works well with brushes especially the Vater Cajon brushes ones.
