L.A. Woman is a confident album. The music is blues rock. The band gets a bass player and decides to get serious with the blues. The album is more grounded. It's not overwhelmed by Ray Manzarek's organ playing or by Jim Morrison's self-absorbed bombast.
This is a great album. The bass guitar is a welcome addition. The Doors interpret the blues well. Of course, pure blues rock has been done to death and is on the wane. So, while this album is worth listening to, it doesn't need to be on the 1001 Albums list.
All the songs are good. The stand outs are: Love Her Madly, Been Down So Long, L.A. Woman, L'America, Hyacinth House, Crawling King Snake and Riders on the Storm.
★★★★★★★★★☆
