Album Notes
The Doors: Jim Morrison (vocals); Robby Krieger (guitar); Ray Manzarek (piano, keyboards); John Densmore (drums). Additional personnel: Marc Benno (guitar); Jerry Scheff (bass).Recorded at The Doors Workshop, Los Angeles, California.The final Doors album to feature vocalist Jim Morrison reaffirmed the quartet's grasp of blues/rock. Beset by personal and professional problems, they retreated to a rehearsal room, cast such pressures aside and recorded several of their most memorable compositions. The musicianship is uniformly excellent, the interplay between guitarist Robbie Krieger and keyboard player Ray Manzarek exudes confidence and empathy, while the strength and nuances of Morrison's voice add an unmistakable resonance. His death within weeks of the album's completion inevitably casts a pall over its content, especially the eerie rain and the funereal electric piano of 'Riders On The Storm'.

...In terms of what they're after here the Doors as a band never falter and there isn't one bummer cut on the entire album--obviously a first for them...
