Jim Morrison Leader Of The Doors - The Lizard King

Review by Kate

The Lizard King, the debut solo album by Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the legendary band The Doors, is a masterpiece of psychedelic rock. Released in 1971, after Morrison's untimely death, the album showcases his unique style of poetry and music, which had made him a cultural icon of the counterculture movement of the 1960s.

The album opens with the haunting track, "The Changeling," which sets the mood for the rest of the album. Morrison's voice, which is both menacing and seductive, draws the listener into a world of dark, mystical imagery. The album features some of Morrison's most iconic songs, such as "Love Her Madly," "Crawling King Snake," and "L'America."

The Lizard King is a departure from The Doors' sound, as Morrison experiments with different genres, from blues to jazz to spoken word. The album also features some of the most talented musicians of the time, including guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and drummer John Densmore.

Summary by Kate

The Lizard King is a must-listen for any fan of Jim Morrison or The Doors. It is a testament to Morrison's talent and creativity, and a reminder of his enduring legacy as one of the most influential figures in rock history.
