Wednesday Once Over -Edition 6

In Two for Two Tuesday, I noted the word "back" in "Back In the Saddle" and "Back in Black."  When I researched the history of the "Back in Black" song, I noticed that it was a feature on the album Back in Black.  In today's Wednesday Once Over, I thought I would post the history of the Back in Black album.

My take away -
Not much could be found about "Back In the Saddle" in song history.  Information I was able to note was rather, let's just say, interesting.  I still like the song.  "Back in Black" on the other hand received great and lengthy praise.  The album of the same name received stellar and honorable praise.  I wouldn't necessarily say I like every song on the album, but "Back in Black" is intriguing for the electric vocal pitch.  Therefore, I like the song.  Therefore, I am intrigued by the band.
