Blues great Joe Louis Walker was the discoverer of the Kansas singer/pianist Lady Bianca. In the past she has worked with Sly & The Family Stone, Frank Zappa, John Lee Hooker and Van Morrison. "Best kept secret" is a mixture of blues ("License to steal"), gospel ("Ooh, his love is so good"), soul ("How do I tell my little sister") and country & western ("Are you really satisfied?"). Her business and musical partner Stanley Lippett provided the compositions.

Lady Bianca (AKA Bianca Thornton) is a dynamic and talented singer. With this, her seventh album, we get to hear her and her band deep into soul and the blues. Her vocals are expressive and range from soft and sultry to big and powerful. Her backing band is tight and focused, making each cut a nice little package of soulful blues goodness. 10 of the 11 cuts are Bianca's own originals, and she has done a great job with them.

The title of the CD indicates that Lady B is serving notice that she is here, on the scene and is a force to be reckoned with. It's all good stuff. If I had to offer some sort of criticism it would be to have Lady Bianca let it all hang out more. I would like to see her go out and blast away; she's got the vocal prowess to do so and it would really be impressive to here her in that mode. Accompanying Bianca are Steve Gannon on guitar, Carl Green on sax for two cuts, Dave K. Matthews on organ, Michael Skinner on drums/percussion, Oshim O. Oden on bass, and Tovia Bradley on drums for the opening cut. Stanley Lipett join Bianca for the vocal duet on "It Hurts To Be In Love". ~Steve Jones
