[@rperkins723]

My favorite Doors album. Feel like their unique sound of blues, jazz, primitive -from the gut vocals and Morriosn's spot on poetry all came together on LA Woman. Thanks Jamal!

[@phillipharrison2836]

Yeh! Please react to 'The Cars hiss by my window' - Jazz by Jim

[@adgato75]

SAME ! It doesn't get enough mention , along with most of the songs on this album.

[@QualeQualeson]

Producer Rothchild called it "cocktail music" before he quit in protest. Don't let the doors hit you in the ass on the way out is what I'd say.

[@kentclark6420]

Love the rhythm in this, and Robbie's guitar. Jim's vocals. Heck, everything.

[@racebiketuner]

Nope.

They also used a rhythm guitar on this album

Can really enjoy band at its best.😂

[@user-ks5jm2mg2z]

The opening riff with Jims vocals and Rays organ has got to be the gutsiest, ballsiest ever. Just straight ahead in your face Morrison. One of my fave Doors tracks.

This song,...and just about every other Doors song,...would be considered my favorite! More Doors! More Doors!

[@TheAcgtrs]

Ya gotta do “Peace Frog”. It the Door really rockin, with really deep lyrical sections.

[@recyclerhopkins]

You should do both Peace Frog (that immediately leads into) and Blue Sunday, the way they are joined together on the Morrison Hotel album. Only 5 min. combined.

L.A. Woman is a fantastic album! Hyacinth House gets me in my feels every time.

Great song!!

[@brushstroke3733]

That's one of my favorite songs all around. Magic 12-string and sympathetic lyrics.

[@chuckeinstein901]

That song more than any other demonstrates his male voice, 100% man there

[@tyronesharp401]

That great bass is Jerry Scheff; played with Elvis for years.

Nice. Thanks I looked him up, he played on all kinds of stuff. Better get back to my Doors studies

[@babel232]

@@generaljj577 This was his First and sadly only Album as Studio Bass, with the Doors. It's His Bass arraignments on this That make this My Favorite Doors Album of all.

"Spanish Caravan" by The Doors. It's short and sweet, you'll love it man

[@Tracer9GTRider8]

This song punches you in the gut right out of the gate!!!

[@midnightcryptworx]

I LOVE it when you do The Doors, my favorite band of all time. I was listening to them in the womb (I'm 34 now). I named my English Mastiff Morrison. Yes...that obsessed lol. Fun fact: The band actually never had a permanent bass player. They would get a player to play on the albums only, but when playing Live, the keyboardist Ray Mazurek is the one who played bass on his keyboards. They even got Elvis Priestley's bass player on one album, which Jim was ecstatic for! Try the song Soft Parade; then temp changes about 5xs but definitely an underrated classic.

[@frandistabile4723]

Love the name of your Mastiff, and thanks for the fun fact. I did not know that. I had a husky-timber wolf and his name was James Douglas Morrison. We also had an Iguana named Jim and one named Pam. My husband loved this band so much and he had at least 75 Doors tee shirts. When he passed away I had his shirts made into a quilt. It came out awesome. We also played Doors music at his wake and even though he wore a suit, the shirt he wore was a Doors shirt. When we got to the cemetery gates the day we buried him it started pouring rain and on the radio Riders On The Storm came on. I didn't have the radio on but several people came running up to tell me. Sorry this was long

[@midnightcryptworx]

Jerry Scheff was the bassist on this album (known for working with Elvis).

[@toddholmes2290]

Great underrated song by one of the best bands ever! Can’t sit still to this one ! 🥰

[@centuryrox]

Oh yes, great song by The Doors, from one of their best albums! Jamel, I highly recommend another song from the LA Woman album called "The WASP". You'll love it!

[@vincentfadale3140]

This is just another song to show why the DOORS were so great. They have left their mark in music and in us.

[@brushstroke3733]

The vocals and music on this song have so much mojo, playing it for the deceased could make them wake up and dance!

[@Xiporah]

I really think you would love Peace Frog by the Doors as well. It's my favorite Doors song.

[@TheRubenMar]

I will always say this...Morrison had one of the BEST screams in rock. Great song and reaction, sir!

[@jjfloyd618]

1 of my all time favorite Doors songs. 1 that definitely “flies under the radar” as the man said. This track has such a great feel for such a downbeat oriented groove.

[@davidtingley9978]

First song of their last album. Most critics list their first album as their best, but this is the doors album I reach for the most.

[@tonyleva35]

Same. This is the matured talent at it's peak.

[@jakeenan]

Elvis's bass player Jerry Scheff laying down that groove. Cat was on it!

[@richarddurand15]

One of the best albums of all time.

Love Doors !!! This is really good, anything from "An American Prayer" is fantastic as well.

[@bekind6763]

Jim Morrison had an amazing voice. The instrumentals didn't hurt. Awesome 😎

[@davidkreutzer4778]

This was recorded in a small home in LA somewhere , Jim was in the bathroom singing and the boys in the living room or den , plus he was just done with the music stuff at the time . It was the compromise they came up with to get him to sing .

Your the best Jamel! Jim's voice was changing but late 1970..... Jim's 5-6 year run had taken it's toll. And he never recovered. Nobody in the history of man kind had a 5-6 years run like Jim Morrison. IMHO.

[@peacefrog0521]

“Not To Touch The Earth”, live from the Hollywood Bowl.

[@peacefrog0521]

(You would think I would have said “Peace Frog” 😄)

Brother Jamel, this whole album kicks butt.

[@condor7810]

G-R-E-A-T Choice! The Changeling is The Doors getting back to their blues roots but also with a distinct funk/James Brown influence. Finally, I will note that Doors drummer John Densmore was a huge John Coltrane fan and heavily influenced by Elvin Jones (who played drums w/ Coltrane).

[@petebrown3715]

I knew you'd dig this song Jamel AKA Jamal- that's why I suggested this tune. Another tune to check out from this album is "Been down so damn long".

Without jim morrison there wouldve been no doors and without ray manzerak there wouldve been no jim morrison

[@michaelhayes7471]

That's my favorite doors song everybody was doing there best on this song

The addition of a bass guitarist didn't hurt either. Same guy who played bass guitar for Elvis.

No one like Ray Manzarek on the organ. Left hand base and right hand the treble.

The last album featured Jerry Scheff on bass. Ray didn’t need to play bass anymore! Apparently everyone was happy to have Scheff in the band. Things were about to get so much better. Shame Morrison left.

Heh, Jamal, I dig you reaction videos. You really get to the heart of it. This one of my favorite Doors songs that I think has some James Beown influence in it,. I think maybe you like me can relate to the lyrics "I had money I had none, but I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town " I also really dig your comment about Gladys Knights lyrics "I'm leaving on the midnight Train to Georgia", so cool and my favorite Gladys Knight song and with her it is hard to have a favorite!

Another funky song they did was Ghost Song. It's mixed with spoken word but man the instruments are soo smooth

[@jasonlevinevideo]

Jamel: spreading that joy and love as always! You're the best, man. I appreciate you enormously. Keep up the amazing work!

[@tjbay13]

Good analysis on the lyrics. This song is kind of a foreshadowing of Jim escaping stardom. Also his personality. He could charm a person, he could challenge a person, he could bring people together with charisma, or drive them to chaos. True thinker, artist, and rebel. Not a phony. Authentic as it gets and always pushing the limits of reality and the status quo. He lived it, hard. Too bad he didnt get to live out his escape though ... or did he?

[@kelvinkloud]

if anyone couldve pulled off the ultimate stage left exit & fake his death, morrison would be the indiv. he also had the means ($), motive (miami) & connections (father) to pull it off.... its highly unlikely, but at the same time, possible.

[@theincorruptedeye8226]

@@kelvinkloud The evidence supports it, if you decipher his lyrics.

[@theincorruptedeye8226]

"There's a killer on the road" he killed the persona of Jim Morrison, "His brain is squirming like a toad" he was scared, "Take a long holiday" just what he did, "Let your children play" leave people alone, "If you give this man a ride" put him in jail, "sweet family will die" his fans would be devastated".

[@condor7810]

Jamal's comments about this part in the lyrics were spot on: ""I had money and I had none, But I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town,." Jim Morrison was planning to leave Los Angeles for Paris when they were recording this. Jim wanted to get away from the rock lifestyle and focus on his poetry/writing in Paris. I've heard other members of the Doors speculate/comment on this. Of course, Jim in fact went to Paris a few months after recording this album. Unfortunately, he passed away after being in Paris just a few months (and at only 27 years old).

[@marykersey3166]

Light my Fire!!!

[@ericclenney318]

Heh, Jamql, Your reaction videos really trip me out. Especially on this song. You are so in the groove on this one. Leavin town on the the midnight train, from Gladys Knight right on the money. I can't remember which menver of the doors said this, I think it was Ray Manzerek who said " We were really trying to put some funk & soul sound into this song and James Brown`s sound was a major influenc I definitely can hear it. Eric Clenney Dig yigbyour reations Jamal, Really Cool and enjoyable to watch. Sure brings up great memories.

"I'm leaving town on a midnight train". It turns out Jim was prophetic. He left before the album was finished for Paris and never returned. Thanks Jamel
