The Doors L.A. Woman

摘要

As 1970 drew to a close, The Doors were widely considered a spent force. Their previous album, Morrison Hotel, had been patchy, and frontman Jim Morrison's embarrassingly public descent into drink and drug-fuelled confusion had recently climaxed in a performance at The Warehouse, New Orleans. Here he'd slumped to the floor, battered the stage with his microphone until the wood splintered, then sat down and refused to participate in the rest of the show. Clearly, Morrison was not fit for live performing. However, the band were the biggest act on Elektra Records so, inevitably, sessions for another album had been scheduled.
