Experience the poignant final chapter of one of Britain’s most legendary jazz-rock trios.
Released in 2003 on the Cultural Foundation label, Askin' The Way marks the historic reunion of the original Back Door lineup: Colin Hodgkinson, Ron Aspery, and Tony Hicks. After rising to fame in the early 1970s via John Peel’s radio sessions and their residency at The Lion at Blakey Ridge, the trio returned to their roots to record this definitive late-career masterpiece.
The album is a generous 19-track collection that perfectly balances nostalgia with new creative energy, featuring:
- Eight re-workings of fan-favorite classics from their influential back catalog.
- Eleven brand-new recordings showcasing the band's matured sound.
- Unique instrumental textures, including Tony Hicks on accordion for select tracks.
This release carries deep historical weight; recorded shortly before the passing of saxophonist Ron Aspery, it captures the raw, soulful synergy that made Back Door a "once-in-a-lifetime" group. For collectors of adventurous jazz and blues-infused rock, Askin' The Way is an essential document of a band coming full circle.
