MORRISON HOTEL TURNS 50 !

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 9, 2020…IT WAS 1970 AND THE DOORS RELEASED THEIR 5TH STUDIO ALBUM ‘MORRISON HOTEL’. THIS IS MY FAVORITE DOORS ALBUM BECAUSE IT FEATURES MY FAVORITE DOORS SONG ‘ROADHOUSE BLUES’. HERE’S SOME COOL TRIVIA SURROUNDING THE ALBUM. THE RECORD IS DIVIDED INTO 2 SEPERATE SIDES. THE SIDES WERE TITLED ‘HARD ROCK CAFE’ AND ‘MORRISON HOTEL’. EACH WERE THE NAME OF MORRISON’S FAVORITE BARS IN L.A.THE COVER PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT THE ACTUAL ‘MORRISON HOTEL’ THE BAND ASKED THE OWNERS IF THEY COULD TAKE A PICTURE AND THEY SAID NO, SO THE BAND WENT IN WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKING AND TOOK A PICTURE ANYWAY. THE BACK COVER FEATURES A PICTURE OF THE HARD ROCK CAFE. NOW WE’RE COOKING WITH GAS! HERE’S A LIVE VERSION OF ‘ROADHOUSE BLUES’ FROM A SHOW IN 1970.
