"THE DOORS"

LAST LP WITH

L.A. Woman LP

 is the sixth studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released on April 19, 1971, on Elektra Records. The album was the last to feature the group's lead singer, Jim Morrison, who died three months after the album's release. It saw the band continue to integrate elements of blues back into their music, a direction that they had begun with their previous album, Morrison Hotel. In addition, it saw long-time record producer Paul A. Rothchild depart, after a fallout over the band's performance in the studio. After his departure the band co-produced the album with sound engineer, Bruce Botnick.

Upon release, the album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and reached number 18 on the UK Albums Charts It was preceded by "Love Her Madly" single in March 1971, which reached the Top 20 in the Billboard Hot 100. An additional single in support of the album, "Riders on the Storm", was also released to success on the Billboard singles charts, and managed to chart in the UK Singles Chart. Music critics Richie Unterberger and David Quantick have both noted that L.A. Woman is arguably one of the Doors' best albums, citing Morrison's unwavering enthusiasm in his vocal performance, and the band's stripped-down return to their blues rock roots

On September 20, 1970, Morrison was convicted for profanity and indecent exposure stemming from a concert in Miami, Florida on March 1, 1969. For much of 1969, the band was blacklisted from many radio playlists and their concert bookings dried up, with promoters fearing another Miami episode. Morrison, who craved recognition as a serious poet and also began dabbling in film, had mentioned leaving the group at the end of 1968, only to be convinced by keyboardist Ray Manzarek to give it another six months

Morrison's handwritten original lyrics to 1971's LA Woman.
