Guitarist Vance Kelly, a stalwart on Chicago's south side for a few years now, has been making occasional forays north and west, including an appearance at last year's steamy Blues Festival. His repertoire ranges from 12-bar Chicago blues-chestnuts blues, funky soul and R&B to contemporary post-funk aggression, but he's also been experimenting with gritty but promising jump-blues.
Joyriding on the subway (Wolf 1995), he is funky, street-slick, and passionate. The suggestive title tune has all the lustful abandon of hard-living urban youth; "That Kennel Predicted" evokes the roots of Chicago blues with its Delta-nuanced, descending fingerpicked chord structure, slow-grained shuffling, and jokingly macho story line; "I Can't Win From Losing," a merry lover's complaint, is given substance by the righteous funk of Kelly and his gang's straight-line arrangement and play. And "I Got a Blues Attitude" - with its echoes of James Brown, the late Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and more - is an anthem for a new generation of blues artists.
