I have always been a crazy lover of Chicago blues, especially when it is played with the passion and feeling this music requires And in this cd It could not be otherwise Driftin’ From Town To Town is a precious jewel, a masterpiece of Chicago south side blues Barrelhouse Chuck has now become a genuine distinguished representant of this style and one of the last living piano players that still and masterly have that honky tonk sound Sunnyland Slim used to have Chuck has done a perfect album in every aspect: the chosen repertoire, the musicians involved, the soul and magic that can be felt throughout the whole recording, the intense passionate performing all musicians do in every song… This is a honest, serious bright album, where everything sounds fluent, calm, temperated, warm and natural And, what can we say about Kim Wilson that is not already said! Kim blows harp with his amazing original style, tone, and overflowing technique, he makes it so easy that it is impossible to escape from his magic and charisma The band is a true luxury all-stars one, with Barrelhouse Chuck piano and vocals, Kim Wilson harmonica and vocals, Larry Taylor bass and double bass, Richard Inness drums, Billy Flynn and Jeremy Johnson guitars and Sax Gordon tenor and baritone sax in five of the thirteen cd songs In short words, this is a blues masterpiece, of those which are now difficult to find
