One good thing about the DOORS is that they are the DOORS. This cd is just that-the DOORS. Jim's in pretty good shape on this album (not too drunk or out of it). He's sounding mysterious, angry, evil, and sexy all at once. The music of the DOORS is absolutely and solely categorized by Jim's unique voice and unusual stage presence. If there is one band that I would have loved to see live-It's the DOORS. I guess you would have to see many shows though because Jim was very unpredictable with his performances and many fans were disappointed over and over by his sloppy drunk or absently angry shows. Although Jim was a deeply troubled individual, he made some hard core, kick a** music (especially for the time). His unique lyrics and sexy voice won him fans all over the world. Unfortunately for Jim, he died before he could realize what a huge star he was becoming. He will never know the impact that he alone had on the music world-even years and years later. Anyway, this cd has plenty of great tunes and you can literally let it play without skipping any. Personally, I like ROADHOUSE BLUES and INDIAN SUMMER. This isn't my favorite DOORS cd but it's good. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY.Read full review

Maggie M'Gill Details Playing time: 37 min. Contributing artists: John Sebastian Producer: Paul A. Rothchild Distributor: WEA Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: AAD Album notes The Doors: Jim Morrison (vocals); Robby Krieger (guitar); Ray Manzarek (bass instrument); John Densmore (drums). Additional personnel: John Sebastian (harmonica); Ray Neopolitan (bass instrument); Lonnie Mack. Feted first as underground heroes, then reviled as teeny-bop stars, the Doors threw off such conundrums with this magnificent release. MORRISON HOTEL reaffirmed their blues roots, stripping away some of the psychedelia of their early releases and the orchestral ambitions that weighted albums like THE SOFT PARADE. The opener, the powerful "Roadhouse Blues," is a case in point. Based on a classic blues riff, structure, and theme ("Let it roll, baby, roll/All night long"), the song is elemental and hard driving. The album then unfolds through a succession of songs showcasing all the group members' considerable strengths. Distinctively tight instrumental playing underscores memorable material, while Jim Morrison's authoritative vocals range from the demonstrative ("Maggie McGill") to the evocative and melancholic ("The Spy"). Though the band harks back to their tingling '60s sound on "Waiting for the Sun" and "Queen of the Highway," the album's best moments, like the politically minded boogie "Peace Frog," wed edgy rock to the band's highbrow vision. MORRISON HOTEL returned the band to critical favor, and was, overall, their strongest effort since STRANGE DAYS.Read full review
