Rough House Piano (Capitol Records H/T-345 - 1952) - Lou Busch as Joe "Fingers" Carr

This was the second solo 10" album by pianist Lou Busch as Joe "Fingers" Carr, and one of the favorites in terms of selections as discussed amongst real Busch fans. More song oriented than the prior entry, Bar Room Piano, the original eight tracks fit neatly into a balanced matrix, and the four tacked on for the 12" LP had more continuity than the additional tunes on Bar Room Piano. One of those was a fairly good hit for Busch, Rattlesnake Rag. Listen. Enjoy. Be entranced.
