Sick ass Rola!

The pianist is the songs' composer...Charlie Rich. I verified it with the engineer of the recording, Jack Clement. His style is a bit more versatile than the aforementioned pianists (which are all great in their own right). Sam Phillips used to get so mad at Charlie for "playin' that jazz sh*t!" Charlie mentioned in an NPR interview that Sam gave him a stack of Jerry Lee Lewis records to listen and study and told him to "come back when you get that bad!"

@imanuglyfrog Earl Ball played with Cash in the 70s-90s. He wasn't around during this time. Jimmy Wilson recorded with Cash at Sun.

@dbeater1 ...i'm not sure BUT seeing as this was recorded at the Sun studios i wouldn't be at all surprised if it's Jerry Lee Lewis,they tended to do that sort of helping each other out there....don't hold me to it tho, i could be wrong..!
