Willie Dixon with Stephen Stills - Back Door Man.flv

[joemysteryguitar]

Well, I first heard this by the Doors as a teenager. Jim sang this with a lot of emotion and so does Willie. Of course, Willie wrote this blues masterwork, I believe for Howling Wolf . This is awesome. as noted below, the Doors did credit Willie on their album and didn't rip him off as so many other rockers have done with blues standards.

Willie Dixon ( who i knew personally) wrote SO many songs that SO many others "borrowed", its not even funny! This man is one of the ALL time Legendary Blues men tied neck & neck only w/ John Lee Hooker who too was a prolific song writer & who, i also knew. Reason being that my 1st husband was a concert promoter during late 60's early 70's who took them on cross Cn. & Western US tours several times & helped get them the kind of recognition they so richly deserved.

Great post! Any idea who the other musicians are (esp. the guy on harp) and when this was?

Actually the Doors did credit Dixon on their first album, so his heirs do get the publishing royalties for it.
