Reviews
Ranked #41 in Nme's List of the Greatest Albums of the '70s., "They reconnected with their bluesy roots to create their finest album since their 1967 self-titled debut...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...The Doors going back to their biker bar band roots....with a title track that inadvertently invented Billy Idol...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Morrison stars with his raw-angered vocals. Covers of John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon complement the hits...", "These rough attempts at the material, free of overdubs and added touches like the rain sounds that kick off 'Riders on the Storm,' spotlight the tight-knit creative relationship these gents had -- a connection that was somehow only strengthened by the addition of a bassist and a rhythm guitarist.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- “It’s a surprisingly focused set, in part a return to the Doors’ blues-rock roots. Morrison’s hot baritone killed, Robby Krieger’s guitar is laser-guided...”, "...In terms of what they're after here the Doors as a band never falter and there isn't one bummer cut on the entire album--obviously a first for them...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "A rootsy album cut in The Workshop, The Doors' Los Angeles rehearsal space, LA WOMAN is at times a raw and bluesy affair..."
