"Spider in My Stew" is a 1973 song composed by Willie Dixon, best known in the hit version by Buster Benton.[1] However, as the music journalist Tony Russell wrote, Benton "never found another money spider".[2] Benton's B-side, "Dangerous Woman", co-written with Dixon, was also covered by Cadillac George Harris.[3]
