Thread Name: Origins: The Spider Murders
Subject: RE: Origins: The Spider Murders
Two cds are currently available through amazon.com and other retailers (but cheaper from cdbaby.com). Cindy Black label, as noted by Dave's Wife: Like Dave's Wife, I did some listening (Nasty, slanderous posts do create interest, don't they?). On her website, www.cindyblack.com, she tells how the song "Spider on My Windowsill" came about. "This came to me in the shower. I just saw a spider and began singing the chorus of the song. I envisioned it to be more like an Aerosmith tune... During a recording session at Woody's (Woody Black) the two of us created the rest of the lyrics. Before this song hit the internet, I was hit by criticism. I was compared to Marilyn Manson, told that the song was not my style, and that it was like an orange couch in a blue room. I like all forms of music and don't want to be put in a box, ... just happen to sing country music better than anything else." Woody Black made a "spooky Halloween video" for her webpage (no longer available).
Cindy Black has a strong, clear voice, reasonable diction, and clear guitar to light rock backing on the clips at her website and elsewhere. Not my favorite music, though, so I won't add the cds to my pile. Cds available: Hear Our Cry. Country Girl. Contains "Spider."
