Our Mojo's rose recording this episode. We hadn't played this album much since high school and college, and it brought back a lot of memories. We rediscover the songs being in 2 camps: the blues songs and the "cocktail hour songs" that we loved. Certain songs like "Love Her Madly" and "Riders on the Storm" weren't well received by their long time producer, Paul Rothschild, who opted out as he felt the band and Engineer Bruce Botnik would be better in the role, and we think he was right. The time period of the recording, early '71, overlaps Jim Morrison's sentencing to hard time for "The Miami incident". Shortly after recording this album, he and his girlfriend, Pamela Courson, flew to Paris, where they lived for several months before he died of a heart attack. Despite the tragic tail that plays out in real life (for Jim and Pamela), the album is rich in philosophical, mythical, political, cultural and psychological themes that permeate through the music, especially some of the non hits that we rank at the end. We get deep when we need to while still being as silly as ever. We had a blast recording this and we hope you enjoy listening!
