Askin' the Way
Askin' the Way is fifth studio album by Back Door, released in 2003 by Cultural Foundation. Featuring the original line-up of Ron Aspery, Tony Hicks and Colin Hodgkinson, the album comprises re-recordings of previously released songs and newly recorded compositions. It is the Back Door's first new material since 1976's Activate. John Fordham of The Guardian called the album "a guffawing, raw-edge cruise over a boogie bassline that makes you feel you're right there with them in the crowded pubs in which they honed this style."[1]
