iTunes Review

Paradox: As Jim Morrison spiraled downward, he made the finest music of his career. Morrison Hotel saw him copping to the fact that "Maggie M'Gill/Lived on a hill" could surpass "Celebration of the Lizard" in terms of meaning and menace. Then L.A. Woman took his blues poetry a step further, the band pounding from note one the way even killer singles like "Light My Fire" and "Hello, I Love You" hadn't. Assured and sometimes silly — Lester Bangs adored the line "I see the bathroom is clear" from "Hyacinth House" — this is dark Hollywood rock ‘n’ roll of a sort that would mostly recede from view until the Germs (or at least Warren Zevon) made a move. Even with the closing "Riders On the Storm" sounding like an intended farewell, L.A. Woman is a lot more than the sound of Mr. Mojo Risin' packing his bags.

Customer Reviews

GREAT!

This album itself is great, but these new mixes are equally as great. And the two extra tracks that are included on this 40th anniversary mix are amazing. The smooth and slow and simple Orange County Suite is a great track and Willie Dixon's (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further, has such a great vocal track, it doesn't even sound like Jim. I cannot make certain suggestions on the other regular songs, because they are all great in their own right. 2 thumbs way up for Mr. Mojo Risin's last album

L.A. Woman

Probably their best album since their debu, and what a better way to go out...

The Last of the Rock Stars

Listen to this album. No, seriously listen to it. Pay attention to the lyrics and the way Jim was singing them. This was a very traumatic period in Jim's life: Pam was sleeping around and addicted to heroin, he wasn't the great Beat poet he dreamed of being, and the band had lost all the club lustre that it had only five years earlier. When he screams "Why don't one o' you people come on and set me free?" in Been Down So Long, you really can't help but feel sorry for the pathetic mess he had become. He needed help and never got it because people just thought it was Jim being Jim, the playful albeit dangerous drunkard that he was. This was the first time that people truly realized how messed up he was, but it was too late at this point. Long live Jim Morrison.

The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic...
