The Blacks Return! November 17, 2006

In 1993, Danny Black found a Hank Williams record left behind in the apartment he had just rented and everything started to make sense. He met Gina at a G. Love and the Special Sauce show at Lounge Ax. She promptly abandoned her classical bass training. Drummer James, culled from an Eagles cover band (we wish we were kidding about that), is known about town for his wide lapels, a drumming style that looks like he's having a seizure, and rambunctious head banging at all Devil in a Woodpile shows.

They put on one hell of a live show, my friends. They are very handsome and striking, and they knew how to put on a visual feast. And NO ONE plays, beats, bends, and bows a stand-up bass like Gina. Believe it.

"If The Blacks threw a party, Bertolt Brecht, Hank Williams, Lux Interior and T. Rexs Marc Bolan would all be hanging out at the punch bowl, getting drunk and trying on Gina Blacks fishnet stockings." Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune
