Title: The Doors most mature album
Review: This album was released in 1971, just before Jim Morrison's death. The Doors had dumped their old producer (Paul Rothchild) and produced this album themselves. Rothchild later berated the band saying that they lost thier artistic vision without him (although he did still have a hand in this album). But, he was wrong. LA Woman turns out to be the Doors most mature album and their best and most creative since the debut album.This is mostly a straight ahead rock album with some blues/jazz influence. The Doors were heavily blues influenced. Fifty percent of a Doors concert would consist of covers of old blues standards. With the exception of some songs on the first album and Absolutely Live, that influence didn't come through on any of the records until now. It has added a new dimension to the already powerful song writing of the Doors.
