The Doors : L.A. Woman / The Workshop Sessions + More
L.A. Woman
is the sixth
studio album
by the American
rock band
The Doors
released on
April 19, 1971,
on Elektra Records.
It is the last to
feature the group's
lead singer,
Jim Morrison,
who died
three months after
the album's release.
It saw the band
continue to integrate
elements of blues
back into their music,
a direction begun with
their previous album,
Morrison Hotel.
It was also recorded
without record producer
Paul A. Rothchild
after he fell out
with the group
over the perceived lack
of quality of
their studio performances.
Subsequently,
the band co-produced
the album with
longtime sound engineer
Bruce Botnick.
"Love Her Madly"
was released as
a single in March 1971,
preceding the
album's release,
and it reached the
Top 20 in the
Billboard Hot 100.
Upon release,
the album peaked at
number nine
on the Billboard 200
and reached
number 28
on the UK Albums Charts.
An additional single
in support of the album,
"Riders on the Storm",
also achieved chart
success on
Billboard and in the UK.
Critics Richie Unterberger
and
David Quantick
have both called
L.A. Woman
one of the Doors'
best albums,
citing Morrison's
unwavering enthusiasm
in his vocal performance,
and the band's
stripped-down return
to their blues rock roots
