The Doors - L.A. WOMAN (REACTION!!!)

Classicly trained pianist + flamenco guitarist + jazz drummer + possessed poet = greatness

The beauty of the song is that it is studio live. No over dubbing, no added tracks. Just start recording, jam, done.

I always loved how he sings "Lets change the mood from glad to sadness" and then he does.

"Motel money murder madness..." line is in reference to the mysterious homicide of R&B singer Sam Cooke, who died in an LA motel. Great lyrics by Morrison to go from driving down your freeways where everything is sunny and care free to the dark underbelly of LA.

Jim has a thousand voices man. This is a great driving song.

A lot of whiskey and cigarettes went into that later voice.

Jim Morrison, a lovely troubled soul and a professionally supportive band heightening his lyrics of poetry to perfectionism. I love every single song.

As soulful as Morrison's voice is in this song, there is a sort of gritty anger and aggression to it.

You got to check out Roadhouse Blues guys. You'd definitely love that.

Roadhouse Blues will make the play list most def!

30 years of owning this album and I never noticed America the Beautiful and you heard it first take. This is what a fresh perspective is all about. Love this channel. Love it.

One of the best songs ever made by one of the best bands to occupy the earth.

It Jimbo's voice. Jimbo was Jim's drunk alter ego. Jimbo recorded LA Women.

Robby Krieger is criminally underrated as a guitarist.

Listen to “Love her Madly” and “Break on through to the other side.”😎

I got a speeding ticket listening to this song, on the way to Saint Louis...the trooper said if I don't drop this down a mile an hour, you are going to jail. I told him what was playing on the radio and he told me to head on out and slow down....

Fun fact: Jim Morrison was a poet and overall wordsmith of sorts and “Mr. Mojo risin”, the nonsensical lyric during the breakdown, is actually an anagram for Jim Morrison. Also the doors DID NOT have a full time bass player. This track had a studio musician, but What you’d be hearing live, and in the studio on most of the earlier albums, would be bass being played on these lower notes of a separate keyboard called a Vox Continental. Ray Manzarek would often split duties between bass rhythms and lead keyboards. Sometimes at the same time.

If "L.A. Woman" made your play list then you MUST LISTEN to the doors The End", "People are strange" and "Roadhouse Blues" to truly understand Jim Morrison's voice range.

Mr Mojo Risin is an anagram of his name. I love that.

I don´t know if someone else already said this, but Mr Mojo Risin is an anagram for Jim Morrison :)
