Product description

The next-to-last Doors album, recorded prior to Jim Morrison's still mystery-shrouded death in a Parisian bathtub, eschewed much of the band's previous penchant for baroque musical, poetic, and philosophical pretensions (this was, after all, the back-to-roots era of the Beatles' Let It Be, the Stones' Let It Bleed, and Dylan's Nashville Skyline). Instead, the Doors circa 1970 wisely seeped themselves in a bluesy, no-frills approach that might have hinted at creative exhaustion in a lesser band. Instead, the Doors of "Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog" reinvented themselves into arguably one of the greatest bar bands ever, with Morrison's well-documented demons frolicking in a welcome new ambience. "Waiting for the Sun" and "Ship of Fools" may hearken back to the band's cabalistic and Kurt Weill leanings, respectively, but framed in an edgier, more effective way. --Jerry McCulley

Jim Morrison felt he was really just an ol' blues man and this album attempts to reflect the then current metamorphasis. Morrison Hotel kicks off with Roadhouse Blues...singing, 'going to the Roadhouse and gonna have a real, good time. Let it roll, baby, roll!' ...and that they did. It was a strong way to start off an album and it also screams, 'we're back!' You feel a rawer, stripped down sound from the get go. You also see why this is one of their best songs. You also get a feel that the band is done with theatrics and just enjoy making music again.
What follows Roadhouse is one of my favorite Doors' songs, Waiting for the Sun. Just a great song that builds up, with great lyrics that are backed with the perfect music accompaniment to create a mood of anxiety that seems to find its release in the final moments.
The real gem on this album is Peace Frog. It is actually a combination of two of Jim's poems playing side by side. Partially biographical, if you know any of the band's history with legal entanglements, you will understand references to American cities. Regardless, that is not necessary to enjoy the song. It is just a good guitar riff with a good rock tempo.
Apart from the sound, the second strong point of Morrison Hotel is the coherency of all the songs. Even the weak moments are given greater merit by the tapestry woven together as a whole. It is one album to be listened to from start to finish.

Die Qualität der Pressung und der Klang sind für meine Ohren einwandfrei. Cover ist sauber verarbeitet.
Gut finde ich das beim Kauf der LP auch ein digitaler Download zur Verfügung gestellt wird. So kann ich auch unterwegs die Musik meiner Plattensammlung genießen.
