"Barrelhouse Chuck, a stout-hearted warrior of Chicago piano blues and boogie-woogie, spreads the love around for role models like Sunnyland Slim, Little Brother Montgomery, Pinetop Perkins and still-active Erwin Helfer. Deftly played original homages and classic material regenerate the aura of those masters".

"Barrelhouse Chuck's playing and enthusiasm are of the highest caliber as he plays some chestnuts in tribute to old friends, and liberally includes a few originals ... In remembering and celebrating the masters he has known and loved, Barrelhouse Chuck elegantly shows what a formidable talent and masterful musician he himself has become".
