Back Door - 8th Street Nites (1973 WB)




These blues and jazz-rock guys don't offer any compromises. Their music sounds quite original. Bassist Colin Hodgkinson plays his instrument personal way and i tend to hear and think the whole music on this album conforms his instrument and that is unusual. The first side is blues based rock and the flip side more fusion kind. It is not usual that the bassist is the motor of the music but i think Colin H is more than an assistant of the group. I red recently music magazine "Soundi" 1973 (a late Finnish music paper) and found that some editors back then where sure "Back Door" was to be the next next great fusion band.
