• Tracklist

• On their fifth studio album (and their fifth consecutive U.S. gold), Morrison Hotel, The Doors returned to their origins and were reborn as a rock ‘n’ roll band. Completed in just a few weeks and released in February 1970, the hard-boiled album took its title from the rundown downtown Los Angeles hotel featured in Henry Diltz’s iconic cover photo.

  Rolling Stone wrote that “Morrison Hotel” “opens with a massive blast of crude funk called “Roadhouse Blues.” The song features gruff barrelhouse piano, wild guitar and with the most convincingly vulgar vocals Jim Morrison ever recorded.”

  In short, “Roadhouse Blues” got its lurid brilliance from a furious brand of hard rock, delivered in brooding fashion with startlingly true Morrison lyrics, “I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer/The future is uncertain and the end is always near.”
