"Back 'n Blue" is a song by the American rock band Cheap Trick, which was released in 1990 as the opening track on their eleventh studio album Busted.
It was written by Taylor Rhodes, Robert A. Johnson, Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander, and produced by Richie Zito.
[2] In a review of Busted, Ivan Brunet of the Nanaimo Daily News described the song as "a rockin[g] number that's got that Keith Richards open-tune five-string sound down cold".
"[5] George Smith of The Morning Call commented, "Numbers like 'Back 'n Blue', the title track and 'I Can't Understand It' blow fuses better than anything on Lap of Luxury.
"[6] In a 2010 retrospective of Busted, Michael Fortes of Popdose wrote, "'Back 'n Blue' [has] some moderately cool rock guitar riffage, some well placed na-na-na's and a tough Robin Zander vocal.
