Back Door Men is the second album by The Shadows of Knight. Both this album and its predecessor, Gloria, were released in 1966 and are considered to be seminal garage band albums. As noted by one reviewer, "The original LP version of this album, the second by the legendary white Chicago garage punk/blues outfit, was one of the most sought-after artifacts of mid-'60s punk rock. Back Door Men was a loud, feedback-laden, sneering piece of rock & roll defiance, mixing raunchy anthems to teenage lust, covers of Chicago blues classics, raga rock, folk-rock, and a blues-punk grab off of commercial Top 40, all on one 12" platter. What makes the record even more startling is that every one of these tracks, however far afield they go from one another, works.".
