New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Willie Dixon's blues classic 'Back Door Man' has been covered by The Doors, The Grateful Dead, John Hammond Jr. and Howlin' Wolf, but today Kicksville pay homage with a cover that stays true to the raunchy original while reinventing it with slippery slide guitars and down-and-funky electronic flourishes.

Kicksville's Commissioner Conrad St. Clair admits, 'We recorded this track simply because it was fun. Willie Dixon rocks, and this is one of his coolest bass lines ever. The lyrics are classic and beautifully dirty....'
Kicksville invited organist Mookie Siegel (David Nelson Band, Phil Lesh & Friends) to fill the funk arrangements with blues riffs, while vocalist Chris Huntington does justice to racy lines like, 'I'm a back door man / The men don't know, but the little girls understand,' with a passionate and soulful delivery.
