The last official Doors studio album, LA Woman was still high on the charts when, like the "actor out on loan" of its closing track, "Riders on the Storm", Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971. Via such tracks as "The Changeling", "Crawling King Snake", and the frothy, rollicking title track, the collection leaned heavily toward the blues--in particular, Morrison's boastful "Lizard King" brand of it. It also holds another entry in the band's ever-adventurous tone poems in the ever-underrated mythical tale of American music and culture, "WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)". --Billy Altman
From Amazon.com
This is the Doors' blues album, their best since their 1967 self-titled debut and their last before singer Jim Morrison died in 1971. The band sounds very inspired here, particular after lackluster efforts like Waiting for the Sun and The Soft Parade. This inspiration is demonstrated in the awesome boogie of "The Changeling" and "L.A. Woman," the lazy blues of "Cars Hiss by My Window," and the very pretty "Hyacinth House" (featuring the great line "I see the bathroom is clear"). Although Morrison not surprisingly takes himself too seriously at times, as in his spoken-word ranting in "The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)," Ray Manzarek's keyboards and Robby Krieger's bottleneck guitar both shine, helping to make L.A. Woman a minor rock & roll classic. --Andy Boynton
