THE DOORS
HONOR THE TREATIES
A LIMITED EDITION BLACK FRIDAY EXCLUSIVE.
The Doors: With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and
uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison's
poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on
popular music but on popular culture. The Doors' arrival on the rock
scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and
albums that would become stone classics, but also of something much
bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience.
They released six studio albums in all, as well as a live album and a
compilation, before Morrison's death in 1971. Their electrifying
achievements in the studio and onstage were unmatched in the annals of
rock. In the decades since the Doors' heyday, the foursome has loomed
ever larger in the pantheon of rock - and they remain a touchstone of
insurrectionary culture for writers, activists, visual artists and other
creative communities.
Peter La Farge occupied a special niche in contemporary folk music as
the first politically aware Native American to attract serious
attention. He was dead before the age of 34, but La Farge managed to
make a vital and unique contribution to the early-'60s folk revival.
Honor the Treaties is an organization dedicated to amplifying the voices
of Indigenous communities through art and advocacy. They do that by
funding collaborations between Native artists and Native advocacy groups
so that their messages can reach a wider audience. Charity board member
John Densmore of the Doors and artist Shepard Fairey spearheaded this
release in conjunction with Record Store Day. All net proceeds of this
release will go to the charity.
