The title track from this, the last Doors album recorded with Jim Morrison, who died shortly after it was released, has, said one reviewer, »maybe the best Chuck Berry riffs since the Stones«
And that’s not even mentioning “Love Her Madly”, which became one of the highest charting hits for The Doors
“Love Her Madly,” was written by Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger, who is said to have penned the song about the numerous times his girlfriend threatened to leave him
The song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and reached No. 3 in Canada
"L.A. Woman" was still high on the charts when, like in the lyric “actor out on loan” of its closing track — the celebrated “Riders on the Storm”, Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971
Via such tracks as “The Changeling”, “Crawling King Snake”, and the frothy, rollicking title track, the collection leaned heavily toward the Blues
In particular, Morrison’s boastful “Lizard King” brand of it
All-in-all, Rolling Stone proclaimed L.A. Woman, »The Doors’ greatest album, including their first«, and »A landmark worthy of dancing in the streets«
