L.A. Woman  by The Doors

L.A. Woman is Jim Morrison's swan song as two months and two weeks after the album's release, Morrison breathes his last in Paris. L.A. Woman was released on April 19, 1971, and sounds like the natural continuation of the sound the Doors embraced and adopted in their previous album. Blues rock and psychedelia continue their incredible journey hand in hand, a journey that only a band like the Doors could organize so flawlessly.

There is a differentiation in the L.A. Woman album. The close collaborator and producer of the Doors, Paul A. Rothchild, is not with them since he resigned during the creation of L.A. Woman. The production of the recording was then undertaken by the Doors themselves, with Bruce Botnick, who was normally a sound engineer, by their side. The two singles that emerged from the album remain two of the band's most iconic songs and are none other than Love Her Madly and Riders On The Storm, the song that closes the album.

Jim Morrison's last album with the Doors was destined to become one of the band's most commercially successful, as it sold over 3,000,000 copies in the United States alone.
