    Tre nga koncertet më të mira të Shostakovic janë të bashkuar në një CD - dhe ata me siguri nuk e kanë interpretuar më mirë. Me atë kënaqësi si Bernstein madh Leonard ekspozon humor e kompozitorit, është thjesht e madhe.

    Hmmmmmm......I always thought it meant some fella that sneaks in the back door of a woman's house while the husband isn't home, but I could be wrong! Anyhow, great song!

    But Willie wrote this for the Wolf. The Wolf is the best blues voice ever. No contender, as far as I'm concerned.

    Willie Dixon's version on I Am the Blues is the best imo.

    A "Back Door Man" is a guy who has relations with a woman while her husband has been out slaving away to provide for her. The usual guilty perpetrator if a wife was caught cheating was a regular tradesman caller (Ice Man, Insurance Salesman etc.). He would then run out the back door as the husband entered the front door. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=222
