Re: Need help with The back Door

You could also use these sound clips:

The words are pronounced separately, so it makes it easier to hear them clearly or to hear a particular syllable.

This site is very good too:

Re: Need help with The back Door

Two things will help you learn the lyrics. Ann Savoy's book and the Amazing Slow Downer. This is available for PC and Mac and will let you slow down the speed of a song all the way down to 20% and it will still maintain proper pitch. You can slow down your tune and follow along with the book. I swear by the Slow Downer and recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn Cajun music.
