"LA Woman" is the Doors' blues-rock swan song (at least, for Jim), and what an album! This is the Lizard King at his bluesman stage, where he gains a certain newfound mystique with possibly, wisdom? Definitely maybe the album for people who like that hard-hitting blues-rock sound.
Being a
Doors album, it is bound to have a song or two everyone knows, coming in
the form of three songs actually. First, is the quick and infectious
melody of "Love Her Madly", a minor hit and a smaller nugget compared to
the double headed eight minute monsters of the title song and the
ghostly finale "Riders on the Storm". With the track "LA Woman" being
the centerpiece song of the album, it highlights the fact that the album
on the whole is just a great, plain old drivingalbum. There is nothing greater in the world than driving at night to this
album. Not only does Morrison hold his own, but Robby Krieger's guitar
and John Densmore's drums are definite ingredients to the song's
greatness. "Riders On The Storm" is a fitting end to the album (and to
Morrison) with it's quiet piano and the ambient sounds of the falling
rain.
The opener "The Changeling" is catchy and tough, showing that
band could still play like the young band of old, but with a touch a
grittiness that a less-experienced band could not have pulled off.
Morrison in his growling gruff greatness... "Cars Hiss By My Windows"
still has that old beatnick club-like blues sound which ends in a
wah-wah impersonation by Jim. And then, "L' America" builds up in an
eerie way, definitely being the "scary song" that seems to be on every
Doors album. "Texas Radio and the Big Beat" is a favorite with a lot of
people, and it's very interesting and quite unique amongst the rest of
the songs. Morrison's vocals are distorted a bit to give that classic
radio sound, and it's quite catchy, that's for sure.
Overall, this is
one of the bands' finest efforts, and it's amazing Morrison could still
pull off all of the stops for his final performance despite all the
world weariness his body took in a short amount of time. Still a
testament to his greatness, too. Basically, this is the full blossoming
of what "Morrison Hotel" started in transforming the Doors from a
strange psychedelic band to a complex powerhouse blues-rock band. One of
the best 'rock' albums from the 70's.
