Barrelhouse Chucks blues piano playing is filled with heartfelt soul, high energy, and low down greasy blues. His loyalty to carry on the works of legendary players, like his mentors Little Brother Montgomery and Sunnyland Slim, contribute to his style. On this disc, Chuck plays four classic Leroy Carr songs and two tunes by Sunnyland Slim, and he sings Little Brothers masterpiece on the title track. Each cover performance is fresh and exciting. This disc also includes three duets with Erwin Helfer, another Chicago blues piano master. Erwin and Chucks duets are spontaneous and thrilling like a live performance. Barrelhouse Chuck is keeping the blues piano tradition alive and has earned his own place among the masters............... 1. Sitting On Top of The World 2. My Own Lonesome Blues 3.
