Episode 41: The Doors - Morrison Hotel Album Review
Manage episode 340737839 series 2889613
The reason I wanted to review this album is because with exception of “Roadhouse Blues”, I believe this album contains the least amount of songs that hit the pop charts. Despite the smashing success of their debut album, The Doors’ 1970 release, Morrison Hotel was arguably their strongest. Recorded as their fifth studio album on Elektra Records, Morrison Hotel offers listeners a peek behind the curtain to when the Doors just jammed.
There is less psychedelia on this album and more Rock n’ Roll. The band creates numerous blues riffs that guitarist Robby Krieger jams over. Morrison puts his smooth, yet raspy vocals on top to complete the finished product. Morrison Hotel will transform any music fan who was previously not fond of The Doors. Listening to their improvisational, psychedelic musical format will make you a firm believer these guys belong in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
