Great blend of blues and psychedelic rock. I mostly knew The Doors with a best-of I owned as a teenager, and I don't know so well their full records. It was pretty pleasant to listen to. The characteristic sound of the organ feels less present than in other of The Doors tracks I had in mind and it therefore sounds a bit less dated than other of their releases.
When I was younger, I had a ‘Best of the Doors’ compilation which was a pretty good selection of tracks from all eras of the band. However, the track order is burnt into my synapses so that when I hear Roadhouse Blues I expect it to be followed by LA Woman, which is kind of jarring when Waiting for the Sun comes on. Taken as a whole, this is a solid blues rock album although Jim Morrison’s voice sounds much older than the 27 years old he was at the time.
Great album, not more, not less.
