The Doors-Morrison Hotel (1970)

We are in 1970, the golden decade of rock and the year of publication of the album. The vast American continent is an inexhaustible source of musical resources, from which an extensive and abundant variety of styles emanate, but if we go back in time, we will realize that America equals blues, one of its primary methods when it comes to music produce music and it is in the blues, where "Morrison Hotel" best suits.
Without a moment's hesitation, "Morrison Hotel" was one of the great works made by the American band The Doors, the fifth of their discography and one of their most famous works, with permission from the later released "L.A. Woman”.
In a way, the Doors return to the blues, explore their musical roots and result in a classic rock album, the kind that last forever in the memory.
Produced by Paul A. Rothchildy and published by the legendary Elektra Records label, it featured the bass collaboration of Ray Neopolitan and Lonnie Mack, the latter, the idol of the legendary Texan bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan and one of his great influences, Lonnie Mack plays during the performance of the songs "Roadhouse Blues" and "Maggie M'Gill." And pleasant is the surprise, when incorporating John Sebastian under the pseudonym G.Puglese, who was one of the graphic icons of Woodstock 69, adding his harmonica.
Morrison Hotel consists of eleven tracks, among which the powerful blues rock of “Roadhouse Blues” stands out, one of their most successful songs and one of the most covered by other later groups.
Others like “Waiting For The Sun” have a certain experimental air and sometimes a tendency towards psychedelia, “You Make Me Real” is pure rock and roll with a very dedicated Ray Manzarek on piano and a complete Krieger on guitar, "Blue Sunday", a beautiful ballad, full of melancholy, and to finish “Maggie M’Gill”, full of blues melodies from beginning to end and that bears similarity to John Lee Hooker's “Boom Boom”.
