While it's often believed that the creative apex of The Doors may have came during the earlier and more celebrated period of their career, there's a lot to be said for the band's final album with Jim Morrison.

By 1971, Jim Morrison was no longer the slender, fresh-faced shaman of Californian rock 'n' roll. He'd stopped shaving and began eating gluttonously in what many saw a concerted effort to rid himself of the sex symbol image that had left many gazing at him lustfully rather than comprehending the profundity of his words.

An album of rugged blues and long acid-trip wigouts, it's the role of Ray Manzarek, Robbie Kreiger and co to steady the ship whilst Morrison pushed his berserk vocals to unforeseen levels. 'The Changeling', 'Love Her Madly', 'L'America' and the frenzied 'LA Woman' capped off the American poet's career in typically unpredictable fashion.
