I can tell Janice was totally at home on this one! What superb vocals. Peter's guitar work was right on the money too. A very enjoyable blues work out indeed! John

Blues ain't so much my music, but if I have to spend the end of my life in a web listening to a blues song, this would be a perfect fit, prototype blues Amazing guitar playing, organ is excellent choice, mix and vocals are top quality. Janne

Janice, Bud & Peter, Blues? not my thing Spiders? hate `em... so this giving me goosebumps is a testament to how over-the-top good this is! All the guitarists here must be thinking "dang that solo is better than anything this side of electric heaven". Love the vocals, of course- and that " are you number 8?" teaser at the end. Brilliant.

First of all what a cool video. So well done. this song just oozed the blues. Incredible vocal and backtrack. Peters guitar was just awesome. Tone and angst in the playing was so cool to listen to. Super collaboration. Well done... Thanks Scott for those kind remarks. We appreciate it! J&B

Love it! Janice that inflection on "seven husbands" at the beginning of the song is classic! What a great sounding track. Great vocal, guitar playing and mix. Well done y'all!!

Super job! Great kick drum and bass. Wonderful mix and production.
Great vocal and solo guitar performances!

Janice, I'm ready to be husband no. 8 - no doubt, I'm your man !!!!
Wow, what a wonderful blues tune. I wrote here once that I'm not familiar with country music, but the blues has been my guide for more than 50 years now.And this tune is an especially fine blues song - I just love it.
Great vocals, Janice (needless to say) and Bud: You gave the it exactly the arrangement it deserves. Love the lyrics, too !!! And, Peter, you sure know how to use your axe.
Again, congratulations on that one !!!
Stefan

This, in my opinion, is possibly the best blues song that has ever been posted to this forum, loved everything about it! Peter just absolutely nails the guitar, absolutely perfect! Great "feel", great tone, great chops. Love the production and mix on this, Bud, and the lyrics are fun too. And Janice has got it going on big time!! Listened on soundcloud a few days ago, enjoyed watching the video this time around Well done guys and gal! Wow! Coming from a great bluesman those are hugely appreciated and supportive comments. This was a fun project that came together very quickly and we are very happy that you like it. BTW, as I mentioned in a response, Peter's solo was what he called a "demo" ...and we immediately said "keep it!!!" J&B

Janice, Bud and Peter,
When I saw/heard the preview of this the other day, I said "Holy crap! Wait until this hits the forum!" Everything about this is beyond awesome. Peter's guitar just smokes, although in a calm and controlled way. The man has a great touch and soul for the music. Of course Janice's voice is a such a treat to all ears. And that Bud guy knows how to turn the knobs.
Super!!!
Alan Thanks for the very kind review Alan. I appreciated that. Peter

You all know that I love the blues so you know that I loved this one. Everything is just perfect. The lyrics, Janice's vocal, Peter's guitar all backed with the perfect backing tracks. You all should put out an album/CD of blues songs and have Alligator records distribute it. This is better than some that I have from them.
This was fantastic!
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Lord have mercy,
"Let me show you my hourglass
I know how I make you feel"
that's worth the price of admission in itself (so to speak)
gorgeous blues, like a silky Stormy Monday
Peter always plays great solos but this one is my favorite after one listen
and the mix is pro all the way, everything fits and balances so nicely
Fantastic vocal Janice
Awesome!
Kenny Thanks Kenny! Cool that you mentioned Storm Monday. Probably our favorite blues song is the ABB /w Eric Clapton at the Beacon Theater playing Stormy Monday. And as Peter and I worked up the arrangement I suggested that exact vibe! We came up with a 12 bar arrangement that definitely had some progressions reminiscent of that song. And Peter's solo closed the deal on that feel. We appreciate you! J&B

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

Oh, yeah.
PB&J channeling ABB!
What a sound! The organ is killer. Peter's guitar is superb! Cool bite.
The girl was BORN to do this. There should be a tour in the works. $$$$$
Impeccable mix.
The ear hangs on from the first note to the last.
Good as it gets.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you floyd for the great review and all the support and counsel through the years. It's hugely appreciated. Regarding the tour...we would be honored to open for you! J&B

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
