678 - The Doors L A Woman 1971

"L.A. Woman" was the last Doors album released with Jim Morrison before his death, in July 1971. The album's style is arguably the most blues-like of the band's catalogue.
The song, written by Morrison, describes a journey through Los Angeles, California. The lyrics mention, among other things, bungalows, strip clubs, cops, and various other sights that Los Angeles has to offer. L.A. is referred to as City of Night, the name of a book by novelist John Rechy. Near the end of the song, Morrison introduces his alter ego, "Mr. Mojo Risin'". ("Mr. Mojo Risin'" is an anagram of "Jim Morrison.") It is also theorized that the lyrics refer to Diane Gardner, publicist for the Doors, to whom Morrison addressed many of his poems.
