The Doors - Shaman's blues

[@tommyd1871]

Its almost impossible to put out 6 albums in that short amount of time and NOT have a bad one. Every album you can play front to back and not hear a bad song. How many bands can say that? NONE!!!

[@alfieburns9019]

@AR-dj3ywI personally though My Wild Love, those songs are great imo

*THE DOORS #1*

[@tastytunes8961]

I think the fact that the doors are such a awesome Rockband is that none of the members was actually a rock musican, Densmore is a jazzer, Krieger a flamenco player, Manzarek was a classical pianist (organist) and Morrison was simply a poet. But They all were in love with music as such, no matter what genre.

[@celebrant9]

You have a point there! Their different influences melt together in a brilliant result.

[@nickmorelli832]

Tasty Tunes like your observation there and yes totally true!

[@CoorsBudMiller74]

Yes man, for sure, no other way man. The doors were these four fine men. Without one of them, and I mean John, Robbie, Ray or Jim the door 🚪 would have never opened for the doors. The cool part of that is each one of them including Jim knew this was something special...

[@wildchild3438]

Well put! They melted well together.

This song just shows how Jim was so lyrically talented, if you ever insult his writing and then listen to this song you;ll have no choice but to reconsider!

My favourite DOORS song from my favourite album. I could never explain why........I think that is the magic of music.

[@stobbinsboy]

I am with you on this. Wild Child is right there too.

[@42awww]

@@stobbinsboy yes!

[@kekethetoad]

Wild Child is a little on the nose don't you think? As good as their music often was, their employed and scripted agenda was pretty obvious.

[@42awww]

@@kekethetoad Inho, Morrisson was no Bob Dylan, and a lot of his poetry was adolescent, naive. I know the words to Wild Child but had never really paid attention to them bc they never touched my soul. I never identified with any of it. Which was part of the Doors mystique for me, besides the great music and Morrisson's vocals. I think they were young and extremely stoned, creative, but had no agenda.

Brilliant Song! Only the Doors sound like this. Like a Carousel almost! It has a trippy quality to it. Then it pauses briefly and then Jim just keeps driving the lyrics home! Jim asks isn’t it amazing? At the end. Yes, Jim! it’s an Amazing song! There will never be another one like you.

[@rorycunningham8324]

When were they ever underrated?

[@Vanderwolff]

"Shaman's Blues" is the perfect bridge between their earlier, mysterioso sound and the later, grittier, bluesier fare. This is an unfairly under-recognized classic. The jazz waltz rhythm just adds an eerie carousel skip-through-the-wreckage slant to the whole journey. Great lyrics, impeccable playing; how could 8 listeners not get it?

[@dynjarren8355]

That’s great! The Doors have a dark and hypnotic quality to their music. There’s something mystical about it. And the keyboards playing classical sounding melodies all over a Bossa Nova beat at times. I heard people say Densmore was really a Jazz drummer. And they improvise a lot. And the way Robbie and Ray would interweave their playing was masterful at times! Like I said, there something magical about their music that other bands don’t have. A mystical Vibe! And then on top of all that, Jim was a crooner and a good Blues shouter. He could do it all! Their music is like Alchemy. They turned Sound into Gold!

This song brings back so many memories! And right after this song on the LP was Jim's soliloquie, "Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song, pretty little girl with the red dress on....poor Otis dead and gone!" My first boyfriend and I used to sing this when we were 14 and 16...it was the time of The Doors and it was all magical...till Jim died. But their music is iconic as they are. So great to hear it again!

Shawn Margaret Cohen runnin blue is prob my fav off soft parade. He speaking of Otis Redding who died right before they were to play a show together.

A great blues with an attractive keyboard riff, an infectious rhythm and some sweet guitar soloing. Morrison's usual, abstruse lyrics render a painterly impression of pathos about the old Shamanic soothsayers. His vocals really command a poetic, baritone presence a la Ginsberg. The Door's show us, yet again, how to be deftly clever (both musically and lyrically) and how to rock and roll hedonistically.
