The Doors “Morrison Hotel” released 50 years ago today, February 9th, 1970. The Doors’ fifth studio LP went to #4 in the US and #12 and has some of my favorite Doors tracks: “Roadhouse Blues” (the b-side to the record’s sole single, “You Make Me Real” which hit #50 in the US) with its great advice for fatalistic thinking: “Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer/the future’s uncertain and the end is always near;” the psychedelic rocker “Waiting for the Sun” and the best of the best “Peace Frog,” a massive ass-shaker of a track, its party music belying the lyrical content about US social unrest in the late 60′s. There’s some other pretty decent tracks like the down-tempo bluesy “The Spy” and the psychedelic-goes-roadhouse rock “Queen of the Highway.” There’s also the biggest Doors stinker of all, “Land Ho!” which I hate with a vengeance, it figuratively makes my ears bleed whenever I accidentally listen to it.
