Free Music Review: The Doors Essential Rarities, and interisting mix of songs
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was originally only availble with the 1999 doors box set but now you can buy it sepratley. Its a good album for any Doors fan wanting to hear of some of there rare songs. The two most interesting songs on this album are the two 1965 demos on here, moonlight drive, and hello i love you. These two demos sound more like blues and really are an early version of The Doors. Other must haves on this album are really every track on here. The Soft Parade is another cool song on here. All in all this album is essential for any doors fan around, and for 20 bucks your money is well spent.
Essential Rarities Poster
This collection, originally available only as a bonus disc in The Doors: The Complete Studio Recordings box set (fleshed out here with another outtake track, "Woman Is a Devil," from that set) is split just about evenly between a sometimes motley collection of outtakes and demos and a better slate of live material. It also argues that while most rock bands cut their teeth on blues and other roots music, then develop a distinct sound (or sell out to pop fashion trends), the Doors seemed to evolve ass-backwards, the band's, and particularly Jim Morrison's, college poet-nihilist pretensions slowly giving way to more blues-based influences. Indeed, after a few legendary years of late-1960s success and excess, Morrison had more than enough reasons to sing the blues. The studio leftovers here underscore why they're called "outtakes" (1965 demos of "Hello, I Love You" and "Moonlight Drive" are historically interesting, if a bit bubblegummy) though there are some highlights. "Whiskey, Mystics and Men" showcases another side of the band's tastefully odd Kurt Weill fetish; a '69 alternate of "Queen of the Highway" is almost lounge hipster chic; and "Orange County Suite" is a dirge from '70. Live cuts (all from '69 and '70) range from a baroque, affected PBS telecast of "The Soft Parade" to an apocalyptic, overwrought "The End." --Jerry McCulleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
