the final Doors album [1971] to feature vocalist Jim Morrison reaffirmed the quartet's grasp of blues rock - they cast pressures aside and record a handful of their most memorable compositions with straight stripped down sound, yet uniformly excellent musicianship, where somewhat ragged and weather-worn voice of Morrison adds its fiercely unmistakable resonance to it; highlights include a breezy, chugging title track, riding on a thrumming bass line and Krieger's fluid licks, and the album's indisputable standout, one of the most compelling, evocative songs in their catalogue, the eerie rain and the funeral electric piano driven Riders on The Storm; recent black 180g vinyl edition comes with original stereo mixes and features John Lee Hooker cover
