HEADS HANDS and FEET is one of the bands that 'spoiled' me in my youth. This British band was overlooked by many in the US back in the day, but once you give them a listen, trust me, you will want to keep this great music alive and share it with your fans! Their first double-album from 1971, is loaded with amazing cuts; superb guitar licks, beautiful harmonies, and haunting lyrics, with a bit of country flavor, even some cow-bell! In fact the album features the original 'Country Boy' written by them. Start with these cuts and then start a playlist if you're convinced. But please don't bother with live performances. They just pale compared with these masterfully produced studio cuts. >Song for Suzie: (Contains a legendary guitar solo by Albert Lee) kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZppo5SndsuxaJM.html >>I Wish You Knew Me: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p2uD2pqoirO3Y5M.html >>>Look At The World It's Changing/You Because You Know Me: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqifubawfbezmcY.html >>>>Country Boy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/anuuz9Wwf7S9qps.html I will keep reminding you until you get the message.

It’s double meaning... morrison did that a lot, like in waiting for the sun.... it’s both literal, to Mary werbelow, but it’s also symbolic metaphor as you pointed out.... morrison at his best, wrote 4dimensional lyrics. They could tell 2 different narratives, yet in a transcending way converge to an even greater meaning... that was the Blake symbolist influence... morrison was inconsistent. But when he was dialed in, he’s mt Rushmore level lyrically in the history of popular music.

Jim Morrison *was* a poet. (Remember in "Break On Through," he said "I found an island in your arms, a country in your eyes. But arms are chains, and eyes are lies..." Only Jim M could come up with something that great.) Please react to *"Days Like This" by Van Morrison??* Thx again for the great music/reactions!

In the late 60s, the big Chicago AM station was WLS, but the hip station was WCFL. One reason was the great radio jock Ron Britain, who every Sunday night hosted an underground music show, the Subterranean Circus. At one Chicago show, he had the privilege of introducing The Doors: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Morrison and The Doors!" As Ron humbly recounted on air, at set break Morrison, in a high state of dudgeon, cornered him backstage and told him, "Jim Morrison and The Doors?!?!? It's not 'Jim Morrison and The Doors'! If it were 'Jim Morrison and The Doors', there would be five people on stage. There's only four people on stage!" Ron, to his credit, took the correction, and said this increased his respect for Morrison immeasurably. Thanks for reacting to this--more reactions from their first two or three albums, please!

This whole album deserves a reaction and if you approach it from the stand point that one of rock's most iconic front men had no formal singing experience or training as well as no formal experience on stage this album is nothing short of fantastic . some people just have it ..

Jamel that "I'll drop a line" used to refer to the writing of a letter as a friend would say to another he wanted to stay in touch with. "Drop me a line" was a common expression at a time when there was no Email. Mailing a letter to a girl, romance I miss.

Well, you are correct about the Artful Poetry of The Doors~ Timeless, too- people thinking of drugs, applying it to their experience- but, when this was written, population didn't know of crystal-- we have to look at this from the Poet's Eyes 👁

This is one of my favorites by the Doors

Hey Jamel. Talking about appreciating the love brought to mind a band I think you would love. The band is called Love and they are contemporaries of The Doors in a similar genre and with an equally charismatic singer. And I would love it if you tried them out, possibly starting with "Alone again or". Just a suggestion.

Love the Doors. Thanks for reaching to this, it a great one. I'm hoping you take the time someday to react to their song, "Waiting For the Sun".

Back in the late 70's - early 80's, there was a band in the NY area called "Crystal Ship". They were a Doors cover/tribute band. I still remember their commercials on the rock radio stations advertising their shows. They were supposed to play my high school once, but only a handful of us bought tickets, so they canceled. That's the closest I came to ever seeing "The Doors". 😔

Thank you, I enjoyed listening to my favorite song with you Greeting from Ural - Russia!

Early Doors music, with Morrison's vocals plus Ray Manzarek's keyboard work, was hypnotic. The Crystal Ship was the B-side of Light My Fire.

You're lost little girl The Spy Peace frog/Blue Sunday L'America My wild love Wild child Shaman's Blues(my all time favorite Doors tune) Damn. There's so many great ones

One of my absolute favorites from one of the best groups of the decade!

When The Doors recorded their music, they brought in a bass player to do the bass lines, but live it was Ray Manzarek who covered the bass notes using the Fender Bass keyboard. Morrison viewed himself more as a poet than a singer or rock star.
