ROUSTABOUT 'Better Than It Sounds'
A plesant enough album of old-time music by this group of 5 musicians including banjo picker Jim Bollman. There are 24 songs on this disc--an interesting and well-chosen sampling mostly learned from golden age commercial recordings, with a couple really standing out(like MONEY MUSK, an exciting fiddle-banjo duet)
