Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: My Mom Got Sick
Reviewer: Jeff Maguire
Positive Comments: Strong Django influence in a minor blues with a Gypsy feel.
Constructive Comments: The melody and the feel is very nice, the style is very familiar. The performance itself has some weak spots. It’s very slow and out of tempo, which can be ok , but a real Gypsy blues like this should probably be quite a bit faster and swing. To my ear this tends to come across as a decent first effort, but it needs some work. You might sell a very slowed down performance like this if the recording was better, there’s a lot of noise, it sounds brittle, and at one point my right speaker just cut out.
