Notes: The dark glasses and Phillies ce-gar on the cover photo of Spider Blues can't begin to hide the barely-contained raw energy of the young man behind them. It's easy to see that Spider John Koerner has the world by the tail, and is ready to jump head first into whatever comes next. Jump, flash, snap, pop, and strut is exactly what he does on this mostly-solo album, with sharp, percussive country blues guitar picking and tight, energetic vocals, complemented nicely by Tony “Little Son” Glover’s harmonica on three outstanding numbers including the opener, Good Luck Child, and the title cut, Spider Blues.

Hearing this album for the first time nearly forty years ago, the only stuff that came close to it for me on the “can’t-sit-still” scale were the early works of Taj Mahal, John Mayall, and Cream. For the sheer punch of an unaccompanied performance, though, I still haven’t found anything to touch it since then. It’s incredible that this nugget hasn’t been re-released on CD. Aside from the history, there’s nothing dated about it; and it richly deserves a newer, wider audience with the same kind of juice that it exudes. ~ Pap-a-lap. Apr 26, 2009 (discogs.com)
