If there's anyone more qualified or determined to carry the torch of Chicago's lofty blues piano history into the future, you'd have a difficult time convincing the growing mass of supporters who would cast votes for Barrelhouse Chuck Goering. Having learned at the side of such legendary figures as Sunnyland Slim, Little Brother Montgomery, Jimmy Walker and others too numerous to mention, Goering continues to dish out well-crafted Chicago blues from behind a piano or Farfisa organ like nobody's business, and make no mistake, Chuck is all-business. The 16 tracks are culled from a number of discs and feature the combined efforts of Billy Flynn, Eddie Taylor Jr. or Hash Brown on guitar, Frank Bandy or Calvin Jones on bass, with drumming provided by Kenny Smith or his father, Willie, Sam Lay, and S.P. Leary, along with a smattering of tough harp. “This is a strong collection of Chicago-style blues piano from one of the standard-bearers of the tradition.” Living Blues Magazine

This compilation of 16 instruments is the real intensity of deep  feeling. Barrelhouse Chuck displays for his forefathers Pinetop Perkins Little Brother Montgomery Sunnyland Slim Big Moose Walker &  Leroy Carr. His bright, springy treble notes against the easy-rolling bass ones give  meaning to the word ebullience in settings ranging from electric groups to a  trio with B-3 organ & farfisa. Immaculately executed and sonically restored. This is a true collection of wonderful songs from 30 years of sessions. -Frank-John Hadley, Downbeat Magazine, Sept. 2007   4 1/2 stars
