Lawd, lawd, have mercy, I done got spider-bit...
"Listen up, ya'll! This heah song, "Black Widow", this the kin' a blues dat sneak up behind ya' in the alley, tap you on the shoulder, and when ya' turns 'round, it slap you right upside yo' cotton-pickin' head. BAM! Sho'nuff do! This blues, this blues mail a letter to yo' wife an' tell huh how bad you been cheatin' on huh, see, and then charge you fo' the postage. I ain't lyin'! No, suh. This heah some dan-ger-ous blues, ya'll heah? Dangerous!!! Git on home, now, 'fo yo' Mama find out what'cha been listenin' to, wit'cho sinful self..."
The above comment posted in a form of African-American dialect is not meant to offend anyone. Rather, it simply mimics the kind of repartee one would hear coming from the mouths of blues musicians from the South who moved to my hometown, Chicago, and performed in clubs such as the "Checkerboard" on the south side, or the "Kingston Mines" on Halsted Street on the near North side. And when they played the blues, it sounded like what I heard listening to "Black Widow".
So, what I'm doin' is testifying to the gutsy, powerhouse, bone-throbbin' blues laid out by "Bud", Ms. Janice, and "PeterF" in their song, "Black Window". Ms. Janice, you most definitely spin a silky, down-and-low web with your s-s-s-seductively venomous vocal. "PeterF", man, you wail so high an' mighty on that 'lectric gee-tar solo that I almost called the fire department to come and get you down out of that tree you ended up in!
Folks, as Mr. Floyd Jane recently remarked in a comment on another forum member's recent song post, "You're killin' it!"
Brushin' off sawdust from where your blues knocked me down on the floor,
LOREN
Loren, that's some impressive blues cred you have regarding Chicago and those clubs. One of our absolute most liked blues albums is B.B. King's "Live At The Regal." We miss him. A stunning talent with a gentle soul. It truly captures the excitement of blues during its height and certainly has some of the repartee that you mentioned. Thank you so much!!! J&B

This is about as authentic as it gets. The B3 is a standout in a great mix. The vocal is spot on just like we come to expect from such a great talent as Janice. Peter’ s guitar work is in my opinion his best to date on this forum. Perfect tone and feel for the song. Especially nice was the choice of some unusual notes going into the four chord on the first part of the solo. Also the Buddy Guy like over the top bends was just right for the song. The production and arrangement couldn’t be better and a nice video. It's a little scary to think of Janice as a venomous arachnid but I must say the whole thing was uncomfortably convincing. Great job by all, Tom We know you are a blues man and we much appreciate your review. Thanks for mentioning the B3. I simply stumbled into that with Logic Pro. We’re glad you liked the video. It was a hoot getting Janice to pose for the cover shot! And a big thanks for mentioning the mix! J&B

To all involved in this offering, it's over the top good! Everything here is excellent! Your productions are always great, but I feel you have raised the bar a little here! Vocals are perfect! Peter's guitar has such a great biting tone (a little darker sound to me ears which suits this track well) and the production is as good as it gets! Thanks, Torrey
