L.A. Woman
Description
The group’s final album–1971’s L.A. Woman, with the signature hits “L.A.
Woman,” “Love Her Madly” and “Riders On The Storm”–is being celebrated with a
special two-CD release from Rhino. The L.A. Woman 40th Anniversary Edition
features a never-before-heard song, “She Smells So Nice,” which captures the
band–organist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, drummer John Densmore
and late singer Jim Morrison–joyfully barreling through a full-throttle
original before segueing into the blues standard “Rock Me.” As the song
closes, Morrison can be heard chanting, “Mr. Mojo Risin'”–an anagram of his
name that was made famous during the bridge of “L.A. Woman.” The track was
recently discovered by producer Bruce Botnick while reviewing the L.A. Woman
session tapes. In addition to “She Smells So Nice,” the second disc of the
L.A. Woman reissue includes eight never-before-heard versions of songs from
the album. Alternate takes of “L.A. Woman,” “Love Her Madly” and “Riders On
The Storm” offer a fresh view on this landmark album, which was the group’s
sixth straight Top 10. The studio chatter between the songs is a revelation,
transporting listeners to The Doors Workshop: the West Hollywood rehearsal
space where they recorded the album with Botnick. One segment in particular
captures a fascinating moment of inspiration when Morrison suggests they add
the now-iconic thunderstorm sound effects to the beginning of “Riders On The
Storm.”
