Back Door Blues is an album by the American saxophonist/vocalist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet recorded in Chicago in late 1961 and New York in early 1962 and released by the Riverside label.

[5][6] AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek stated: "Cleanhead sings his ass off and plays some alto with Cannonball.

And it works so well ... Cannonball is excellent throughout; the R&B and blues idioms are all meat and potatoes for him, and he feels confident settling inside the groove without the need to push the boundary.

And the anchor in all of this is Zawinul, leading the rhythm section, condensing both musics to their most essential harmonics and tonalities, and building them out with a swinging style and cadence that are nothing short of remarkable ...

[5] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings wrote that "the Adderley band of that period was very well suited to accompanying a blues singer like Vinson, and its approach is an elegant alternative to the jump-blues setting of his earlier recordings".
