Nacida en 1972 en Chicago, Vivian Vance Kelly comenzó a cantar con sólo cinco años en el coro de la iglesia de su barrio, acompañada por su familia durante los servicios dominicales. A los doce años Vivian ya lideraba una banda de hip-hop y a los diecinueve era la voz principal de una formación de reggae. Fue precisamente su padre el guitarrista y cantante Vance Kelly quien la introdujo por los caminos del blues, consiguiendo que se hiciera un nombre en la escena del blues de la ciudad del viento. Vivian descubrió también sus buenas dotes como compositora escribiendo diversas canciones que se incluyeron en varios discos de su padre. Además actuó con regularidad junto a Eddie C. Campbell y realizó alguna gira por Europa como integrante de la formación Vance Kelly & The Backstreet Blues Band. Este álbum contiene diez composiciones propias. más las versiones de “Husband Cheating On Us” de Denise LaSalle y “Stand By Me” de Ben E, King. Como siempre la compañía Wolf apuesta por el blues más auténtico de Chicago, en este  caso, por una genuina vocalista del blues del west side. MUY BUENO. 

Born in 1972 in Chicago, Vivian Vance Kelly began singing when she was only five years old at Sunday services in local church where she came with her family. Aged twelve Vivian led a hip-hop band and at nineteen she was the main voice in a reggae group. It was her father, guitar player and singer Vance Kelly, who introduced her in the blues ways, where she gradually got a name in Windy City blues scene. She also discovered her good skills as a songwriter, doing various songs that were included in several of her father's albums. He also performed regularly with Eddie C. Campbell and toured Europe as a member of the Vance Kelly & The Backstreet Blues Band. This album gathers ten own compositions, plus the versions of Denise LaSalle's "Husband Cheating On Us" and Ben E. King’s "Stand By Me". As usual, Wolf Records is committed to present the most real Chicago blues, in this case, a genuine West Side blues vocalist. VERY GOOD.
