THE BACK DOOR--12 bar blues

I've taken my accordions (both the Cajun box and a piano-key) to blues jams. One of the tunes I usually suggest to the blues-types to play is The Back Door because it is a straight 12-bar blues tune (I play it in G on my C Cajun box) and the blues folks don't have any problems playing it.

D.L. Menard said he took it from Hank Williams' Honky Tonk Blues. Link above to the English lyrics.

Re: THE BACK DOOR--12 bar blues

i think if you play it right,
there is a 2-extra-beat section between
the a and b parts..
