| | The Doors |
 | | As melody-makers, The Doors stand among the best 60-s groups, close to The Beatles, and, were it not for a few serious stinkers and the general shortness of their career, they would have earned a 5-star rating on my scale. |
 | | While the Doors were never a generic blues band, this track showcases, from the very beginning of their career, Jim's ability to assimilate old blues to his own dark, dreadful, terrifying style. |
 | | This album was probably released in a flurry, as 1969 didn't seem to be a good year for The Doors, what with Jim's drug additions and obscene behaviour, culminating in the infamous self-exposion bust and subsequent trial. |
