The Doors 1971 album, L.A. Woman, is a sonic trip through Los Angeles while the listener sits shotgun as Jim Morrison speeds down the city’s serpentine highways. Released fifty years ago, the album still captures the psycho-geography of Los Angeles through The Doors’ blues-tinted lenses.

In an attempt to capture the live feeling of a jam session, they recruited rhythm guitarist, Marc Benno, and Elvis Presley’s bassist, Jerry Scheff. The group recorded at their home-made workshop, set up in their office; 8512 Santa Monica Boulevard.

Bringing together The Doors’ vast set of influences, from the Baroque, to the Blues, L.A. Woman tracks where The Doors have been, and maps out the road the band might have travelled had Morrison returned from his Parisian sojourn.
