The story behind
The Doors recorded L.A. Woman in an improvised studio in their own rehearsal spaces, between November 1970 and January 1971. The album was released in April 1971, just before Jim Morrison forever left for Paris. It was their last album recorded together. The work is filled with blues, something that had already started to dominate their sound, especially after Morrison Hotel. The band produced it themselves, without the usual producer, because he refused to work with them. The album includes covers of songs by other artists, such as Crawling King Snake by John Lee Hooker, and also more pop or experimental songs. In Hyacinth House, Ray Manzarek plays a passage from Polonesa heroica by Chopin. The lyrics are important, especially in L.A. Woman, where Morrison said goodbye to the city. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
