5.0 out of 5 stars My review of The Doors: The Complete Lyrics, December 12, 2001

By 

Jay Crutcher (Louisville, Ky.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Doors: The Complete Lyrics (Paperback)

I absolutely love this book. The introduction and the photographs are worth the price alone. This book has the lyrics to all your favorite Doors songs plus poetry (lyrics) from Jim Morrisons' spoken word album "An American Prayer." It has also got interviews and a behind the scenes look at what went on during some of the recording sessions as well as definitions as to just what Jim meant in some of their songs. The discussion about the meaning of The End is great. This book is a must for Doors fans from the most ardent to the just curious. The book is not one that will be looked at once or twice and put on a shelf. It is a facinating read no matter how many times you read it. The Doors: The Complete Lyrics increased my respect and admiration for the band, and Jim in particular, 1000 fold.

This review is from: The Doors: The Complete Lyrics (Paperback)

This book is a complete compilation of the Doors lyrics as written by themseleves. One of my favorites, "Back Door Man", of course is missing, as it was not written by them. Some historical summaries are put in, as well as a fine set of photographs. The music and lyrics of the Doors is both simple and unique, malevolent at times, but always tantalizing and dramatic. One can only wonder what they would sound like today if Morrison would have not passed on...

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Morrison agrees, February 22, 2001

By 

Zach Rhinier (Pennsylavania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Doors: The Illustrated History (Paperback)

Originally a scrappbook compiled by a boy that hung around the Doors office, Jim recommended it become a book. Good idea. A solid, complete book filled with the best photographs with articles, interviews, and Morrison's best quotes scattered throughout, it is a bargain at the retail price.
