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 McCulley      Product description      Brand New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 771104898724\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075596253024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45959751041058,"sku":"D6-4PV7-TU3Z","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/41opt5vQRxL.jpg?v=1783626516","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/the-doors-essential-rarities-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
