Piano Red comes across in this disc as a competent pianist. It appears that he was playing a "prepared" (like when they put thumbtacks in the front of the hammers to give the piano a tinny sound) instrument. Some people think it gives a honky tonk feel to the music. You either like that or you don't. It happens that I don't. If you do, you might have given this record a higher score than I did. "Rockin' With Red" is a half piano/half vocal novelty style tune of the type that itinerant piano players such as Piano Red is supposed to have been were quite fond. "Rockin" has a thinly veiled sexual connotation, but Red doesn't push it too hard and you can choose to think of it as referring to the music if you want to. Red's Boogie is the more interesting of the two pieces to me, largely because it is all piano. Most of the itinerant piano men were exponents of the boogie sound to one degree or another. "Red's Boogie" is something of a surprise in that the boogie takes an unexpected back seat to a spritely and imaginative ragtimey approach. I think it was a more enjoyable record because of that.
