MORRISON HOTEL -THE DOORS -

ELEKTRA EKS 75007

The Doors are truly the most American rock and roll band I’ve ever heard; like this country, when they’re good, they’re unbeatable and when they’re awful, they’re horrifying. And sometimes they’re horrifyingly good.

It isn’t just that Jim Morrison is a real, or imagined, motherfucker; nor that Robby Krieger is probably the best unknown guitar player in rock and roll or even that Ray Manzarek plays both piano and organ excruciatingly well on this record. It’s beyond even that; it’s beyond Morrison screaming "SAVE OUR CITY!" Which is a most patrioticly Amerikan thing to do, ain’t it?
