    This is what happens when a classicly trained jazz keyboardist gets together with a jazz trained guitarist, a solid rock drummer and a poet with a great voice. L. A. Woman or Roadhouse Blues are awesome as are many other songs they did.

    The song is a literal mind trip...
    Hypnotic...
    Entrancing...
    You feel lost...and found at the same time.
    Emotional.
    Impossible to NOT sway rhythmically as your entire being is drawn into another place.
    A true immortal classic!

      I think, even moreso then the End, it has their most timeless feel.... the doors were inconsistent, but wow, when they were on their A game, the had few to no peers, even in that very talent laden era. this song holds up better then anything from that era. I put it up w/ machine gun.

      whats cool about this song's lyrics is both the simplicity but also the depth. thus they scale up to multi layered meaning that also mesh into larger theme.... road grounds one down to the level of the present & movement. the hitcher in the desert standing on its side as the lone car winds & works thru a canyon to meet him as a storm is brewing. sets the mood..... yet, as the songs lyrics also do, it scales up to a philosophical examination of ones choice & the greater cultures influences on the indiv. in that regards, the road becomes Time. (one past, present & future arc thru this exsistence). not only ones choice, destiny & fate but even the culture's collective options & forecast. crossroads. pick the hitcher up & find evil -0r- ride on & endure the culturals strife (storm) & sutain, find a lovers hand, build family & endure.

      I went to his grave in the early 90's. The sad thing was all the graffiti in the cemetary. All over near his grave, and all the spray painted "Jim" with an arrow giving directions to his gravesite. All spray painted on other people's grave sites. Also there was about 20 or 30 people there the day I visited. You had people sitting on other people's headstones and gravesites around Jim's. I would post some pictures if you could on UA-cam.

    You could have listened to Ray Manzarek for "10 minutes straight?" Well lucky for you because he's happy to play 10-minute keyboard solos while Jim Morrison drifts around in the spirit world on stage. The keys really do dominate this song, which makes me surprised that no one mentioned how jazzy it sounds. The drums and keys really just sound like a jazz band improv.

    The Doors were my number one band in high school. I graduated in 1980. My yearbook quote was taken from their song, "People Are Strange". "L.A. Woman" or "Roadhouse Blues" would probably be at the top of the list to do next but they've got a lot of great songs. If you want something long and trippy you could try "When The Music's Over" or "The End". A great short song of theirs is, "Touch Me". Jim does some real singing on that one.

    Morrison did have a pitch-perfect voice. So he could flat out sing.
    The Doors has a whole bunch of records that went gold. An early song "People Are Strange" still gets play on Classic Radio. I think you guys might like "Touch Me Babe" which moves right along.

    This was the last song Jim Morrison recorded with The Doors, prior to his sudden death in Paris on July 3, 1971. I wasn't really a fan of The Doors for most of my life. But they grew on me as I got older, and now I think a lot of their stuff is poetic genius. L.A. Woman is the only LP I own of their music, but I have it on vinyl and a 5.1 format SACD. Long after Morrison's death, The surviving members of The Doors wrote new music to accompany old recordings of Jim reciting his own poetry. They released it in 1978, under the title: An American Prayer.

    A couple of years ago I took my older grandsons on a road trip around the UK, France, Spain and Portugal. On the road from Orléans to Paris, I played this song and other Doors music. Then, in Paris we visited Père-Lachaise to see Morrison's simple grave. There were people from five countries there at the time, beside us. We also saw the graves of Maria Callas, Edith Piaf, Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Moliére, and Proust. So Morrison lies in distinguished company.

    The line "An actor out on loan," refers to the studio system in Hollywood in which the major studios had most of the power. They would sign actors to long and strict movie contracts in which the actor was obligated to perform in a set number of movies. If another studio wanted that under contract actor, he might be "Loaned out." As an example, Robert Young had a contract with MGM, and MGM loaned him out to British Gaumont so he could do few movies with Hitchcock.
    Morrison was a film student and lived in the era when the studio system collapsed. He knew what an actor on loan was.

    thx for giving this song the room to breathe & taking it in.... too many reviewers dont do that. & this song in particular requires it.... one of you guys accurately picked up the cinematic vibe to it... the keyboardist & lead were both ucla film majors before they formed this iconic band. few bands have ever been as good at atmosphere, visual layout, large scale themes & epic long arc composition. They also helped put that structure on the map.... this was the last song the singer sung before leaving to paris & dying 4 months later.... the doors had to this day, their own unique signature & this song epitomizes that. jazz & blues influenced w/ william blake succinct but dense meaning lyrics. on one level it is a haunting desert hitcher story. yet, ingeniously morrison thru symbolist word usage draws you into a larger examination of the greater culture. its like the camera pans up & you get a hawks eye view above to emphasize the larger forces drawing on the characters. the road becomes Time (before, present, forward)...the storm (cultural unrest & struggle)... the hitcher (temptation & evil). pick him up & indulge in death... the moving car (ones station in the present). presented w/ choice. pick him up & implode or ride on, weather the storm, find the lovers hand, build family. endure.... it was jim's last song & some say a good bye & warning to amer, but also hope. the crossroads choice as amer entered the '70s: embrace evil (the hitcher ) & self destruct as people like ted bundy soon would. or endure & build a family & hope & many other boomers would. same themes explored in forest gump. this song brilliantly puts it into musical, narrative & poetic form. & as you guys said, it plays like a movie in your head. yes, these guys were good when on A game.

    This has an almost subliminal feature, there is a “whisper track” Jim added that plays along side his regular vocal, once you hear it, you’ll always hear it

    The unusual effect on Jim Morrison's voice was a backing vocal that was mixed to be like a whisper. Listen to it again and you'll hear it.

    You three started really getting into it about halfway through the piano solo. That's when Ray Manzarek starts channeling Ray Charles. Fantastic.

    I can still picture in my mind when my older brother came home from work with the afternoon edition of the Detroit News and he showed me the article announcing the death of Jim Morrison. I was twelve years old. Roadhouse Blues, L.A. Woman, Break On Through, Love Street and of course The End are a good start down the rabbit hole. Also, to me this wasn't Psychedelic Rock, I think it should be "labeled" Fusion Rock. And, it was nice seeing all three of you enjoying the song.

    The first time I heard this was in a Canadian movie Called Slipstream (1973) about a DJ.out in the middle of nowhere central Canada. It deals with the coming of what was called "robot radio". When major corporation's started buying up small town radio and TV stations in the US and Canada.

    The Doors pretty much opened up the way for Progressive Rock. So sad to think what we lost musically with Jim Morrison's untimely
    and premature death. "Riders on the Storm" was unfortunately the end of their musical journey, Try them at the beginning with either
    "Light my fire" or "Break on Through (To the other side). You will hear the difference and I have no doubt you will want to experience
    more. Enjoy the ride!
