An American Prayer is the ninth and final studio album by the Doors. In 1978, seven years after lead singer Jim Morrison died and five years after the remaining members of the band broke up, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore reunited and recorded backing tracks over Morrison's poetry (originally recorded in 1969 and 1970).

When the true King's murderers are allowed to roam free A 1000 Magicians arise in the land. Where are the feasts we are promised? Where is the wine, The new wine, dying on the vine? More on Genius. About An American Prayer.
An American Prayer - Jim. has been added to your Cart. The Doors recorded six studio albums with Jim Morrison as their singer from 1967 to 1971, hitting the charts with a series of pop songs that were at least as good as Tommy James and the Shondells. On their albums, they indulged in Morrison's pretentious obsessions that included extended pieces about Oedipal complexes and the end of the world. All of Jim's work(especially on this album) deals with the uncertainty surrounding death/the "loss of god". This underlying theme permeates much of what Jim is about.

Lament 16. The Hitchhiker 17. An American Prayer 18. Hour for Magic 19. Freedom Exists 2. Moody and mesmerizing, An American Prayer is an interesting album of Jim Morrison reading his poetry over the Doors' music. An American Prayer was finished by the remaining members of the Doors after Morrison's death and finally released in 1978 (it was remastered and re-released in 1995 with bonus tracks). Those familiar with the lyrics of the Doors will not be surprised, but others may be put off because Morrison is unafraid to use crude imagery and talk unabashedly about taboo topics such as sex and religion.
