L.A. Woman is the sixth
studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released on April 19, 1971,
on Elektra Records. It is the last to feature the group's lead singer, Jim
Morrison, who died three months after the album's release. It saw the band
continue to integrate elements of blues back into their music, a direction
begun with their previous album, Morrison Hotel. It was also recorded without record
producer Paul A. Rothchild after he fell out with the group over the perceived
lack of quality of their studio performances. Subsequently, the band
co-produced the album with longtime sound engineer Bruce Botnick.
"Love Her Madly"
was released as a single in March 1971, preceding the album's release, and it reached
the Top 20 in the Billboard Hot 100. Upon release, the album peaked at number
nine on the Billboard 200 and reached number 28 on the UK Albums Charts. An
additional single in support of the album, "Riders on the Storm",
also achieved chart success on Billboard and in the UK. Critics Richie
Unterberger and David Quantick have both called L.A. Woman one of the Doors'
best albums, citing Morrison's unwavering enthusiasm in his vocal performance,
and the band's stripped-down return to their blues rock roots.
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm.
