The two hundred and nineteenth album: #219 The Doors - L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman is another blues rock album from The Doors, but where that felt staid on the previously listed albm, there's something here that makes it more contemporary. Some songs are more uptempo and angry, but right now there's something soothing about a track like Cars Hiss By My Window, a blues track that comes along nicely and relaxes you. The titular L.A. Woman, aside from the its length, steps it up more, but even then it feels like an extended jam session rather than the more produced styles of rock that seem to be its contemporaries. It ends with Riders on the Storm, more produced, deliberate and even more a part of this relaxed mood music, with the backdrop of rain and calmer sounds.
The album has that vein throughout, some more laid back blues mixed with some psychedelic rock elements, but on the whole it's the perfect sound for a slow, warm corona Monday morning.
