Morrison Hotel - From the night on the highway

1970: After the Doors had been given by the Miami scandal and banned from performing many concerts had been canceled, the image of the band has recovered and even Jim has caught something again. Publish The Doors one of their best albums: Morrison Hotel. It is the most rocking, which have ever taken the Doors. Jim has his alcohol consumption (at least provisionally) under control, and the critics were enthusiastic. The Doors are the top again! The title of the LP is an allusion to the "Morrison Hotel" in Los Angeles, in which the cover was added, and in the basement dessem the famous "Hard Rock Cafe" is located. Ray and Dorothy Manzarek had discovered the hotel with a walk in LA.
The album begins with "Roadhouse Blues", a hard rock track that is also one of the most famous Doors title ever.
The song "Waiting For The Sun" was actually already recorded for the third album and had also given the album its name, but was not used at that time (1968). It's a dreamy, melancholic piece, sung by Jim with a sensitive, plaintive voice.
Heiterer it is in "You Make Me Real", a title awarded for Jim's girlfriend Pamela Courson (his "cosmic mate" as he called them himself) was written. Once again, here is Jim's desire to break clear ("Make me free, You make me free.")
"Peace Frog" is a lively, rocking piece, but the text is extremely depressing. Jim processed here his nightmarish memories of the concert in New Haven when police arrested him during the concert on stage. While led away him, beat the police with batons on him, although he did not resist. ("Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven")
"Peace Frog" flows seamlessly into "Blue Sunday". This slow ballad is more musical declaration of love from Jim to Pamela.
In "Ship Of Fools", a relatively fast song, Jim expresses his displeasure with the way of thinking of the people and sings to musical accompaniment serene the downfall of humanity with fascinating indifference.
"Land Ho!" concerns of an aging sailor who longs back his old life.
This is followed by the bluesy "The Spy," with its frightening, disturbing text. ("I know your deepest, secret fear.")
The swinging "Queen Of The Highway" but also, at least in the text, a dark side.
This is followed by the quiet "Indian Summer", a title that sounds like the beginning of "The End".
Finally, the album with "Maggie M'Gill" contains a song whose text Jims expressing love for blues ("I'm an old blues man ... I've been singing the blues ever since the world began.") who will he show even more in the album LA Woman.
For me, Morrison Hotel one of the best albums that The Doors have ever produced and should be in every CD or record collection!
