Product Information

While it's true that quintessential rock band the Doors continued to record and release music after front guru Jim Morrison's death in 1971, most fans would passionately maintain that it doesn't really "count." For it was that leather clad cross between a mystic poet and a bad boy who personified the psychedelic, transcendental rebellion of the Doors' sound. L.A. WOMAN was recorded in 1971 very shortly before Morrison's death from a drug overdose. Featuring some lesser known but still legendary hits including the spiritual epic, "Riders on the Storm," the album remains a classic of counterculture America. Re-released here on the high quality sound technology of DVD-Audio, the album gets its full due.

ReviewsRanked #41 in Nme's List of the Greatest Albums of the '70s., "They reconnected with their bluesy roots to create their finest album since their 1967 self-titled debut...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...The Doors going back to their biker bar band roots....with a title track that inadvertently invented Billy Idol...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Morrison stars with his raw-angered vocals. Covers of John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon complement the hits...", "These rough attempts at the material, free of overdubs and added touches like the rain sounds that kick off 'Riders on the Storm,' spotlight the tight-knit creative relationship these gents had -- a connection that was somehow only strengthened by the addition of a bassist and a rhythm guitarist.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- “It’s a surprisingly focused set, in part a return to the Doors’ blues-rock roots. Morrison’s hot baritone killed, Robby Krieger’s guitar is laser-guided...”, "...In terms of what they're after here the Doors as a band never falter and there isn't one bummer cut on the entire album--obviously a first for them...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "A rootsy album cut in The Workshop, The Doors' Los Angeles rehearsal space, LA WOMAN is at times a raw and bluesy affair..."
