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.
