Social Distortion reached back to the Rolling Stones for "Backstreet Girl", a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song, and cut their own version of it for Prison Bound in 1988. The Stones had first slipped it onto the British edition of Between the Buttons in 1967, but this take belongs to Mike Ness and company.
Ness sings lead and plays guitar alongside Dennis Danell, John Maurer handles the bass and the backing vocals, and Christopher Reece sits behind the drums. The band produced and engineered it themselves, with Chaz Ramirez sharing both jobs.
