The Doors – Morrison Hotel (Reissue, 180 Gram LP Vinyl)
The Doors – Morrison Hotel (Reissue, 180 Gram LP Vinyl)
After the orchestrated excess of The Soft Parade, the Doors stripped everything back and walked into a real Los Angeles skid row hotel to shoot the cover, a fitting image for an album that sounds like the band rediscovering why they started. Morrison Hotel finds Jim Morrison leaning hard into his blues obsessions alongside Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and John Densmore, pointing directly toward the rawer sound they'd fully unleash on L.A. Woman just over a year later.
Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Café from the title of the first side of the LP, with the second side titled Morrison Hotel) is the fifth studio album by American psychedelic rock band The Doors, recorded from between August 1966 and November 1969 and released by Elektra in February 1970. After the previous year's more experimental album The Soft Parade was not as well-received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman.
