Morrison Hotel
Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Cafe from the title of the first side of the LP, whose second side is titled Morrison Hotel) is The Doors' fifth album. It was released in 1970. After their experimental work The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman.

It was released in 1970. After their experimental work The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman. The strategy worked; even though no major hit singles were drawn from the album, Morrison Hotel reestablished The Doors as favorites of the critics, and when they followed with L.A. Woman the next year, they were rewarded with two more US Top 20 hits.

Additional musicians include harmonica whiz G. Puglese (aka John Sebastian) and blues master Lonnie Mack on bass.

The cover photo was taken at the actual Morrison Hotel located at 1246 South Hope Street in Los Angeles. The band asked the owners if they could photograph the hotel and they declined, so the band went inside when nobody was looking and took the photograph.

Roadhouse Blues
The Doors Lyrics


Yeah

Ah, keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Ah, keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
We're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real, a good time, alright

Yeah, the back of the roadhouse
They've got some bungalows
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse
They've got some bungalows

Ay, well, that's where the people
Like to go down slow, alright

Let it roll, baby, roll
Roll, baby, roll
Roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Yeah, do it, Robby, do it, yeah

Gotta roll, roll, roll-a
Thrill my soul, alright
Yeah, gotta roll, roll, roll, roll-a
Thrill my soul, yeah, gotta

Chee-boba-loo, bow, bow, bow
Cha-cha, da, cha-cha, dow, dow
Cha-cha, da, cha-cha, chow, chow
Da, cha-cha, da, chow, chow, oh-uh
Da, cha-cha, da, cha-cha, oh-uh
Da, cha-cha, da, chow

Right now

Ashen lady
Ashen lady
Give up your vows
Give up your vows
Save our city
Save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning
Got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning
Got myself a beer

Well, the future's uncertain
And end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Roll, baby, roll
Roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Thank you very much

The Doors' ability to mix the blues and psychedelic rock together so well is exactly why I love them so much

Well u know the saying the blues had a baby and they called it rock & roll then in the late 70s early 80s it'd taken to much hard stuff & became lil psychedelic 😅
