Singer and guitar player Vance Kelly is now considered as ‘the future of contemporary Chicago blues’ and those who say it are not wrong Vance has an amazing ability and a tasteful technique that enables him to mix into the same kind of music different styles like blues, funk, and even disco music roots His fingers sliding along the guitar neck have skill, speed and precision enough to produce a deep impression in everyone who listens to him The album is a compilation of some sessions recorded during the years 1987, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2008 and 2011, plus four previously unreleased songs Kelly is backed by a bunch of very good musicians, such as Billy Branch on harp, Eddie Shaw on saxo or John Primer on guitar Anyway, we should specially mention all the musicians involved, because they do a faultless work and every recording session sounds perfectly teamed, well recorded, with an excellent final production too Vance leads the whole sessions with authority and he builds a solid effective musical architecture over a firmly rooted basis, which makes the album become a true compact good piece of work
