review in Real Blues (#25): "Charles Goering is a young white blues pianist who fell in love with the sounds of Chicago blues and boogie piano back in the 1970's when the Windy City still had a handful of great keyboard magicians. His mentors included Pinetop Perkins, Big Moose Walker, Detroit Junior, Lafayette Leake, Sunnyland Slim, and Jimmy Walker - all the great men of Chicago blues piano...... "25 Years of Chicago Blues Piano" is overflowing with both ultimate performances and respect..... THis is Chicago blues at it's post-1960's best. Every true blues fan will cherish this disc for it's almost endless infusion of blues bliss." - (5 Stars) * * * * * Features guest appearances by (partial list): (vocals) Bonnie Lee, Big Smokey Smothers, Blue Fuller, Willie Kent, Hip Linkchain, R.J.
