The sixth studio album and the final album with Jim Morrison in their lineup, . Woman is by far The Doors' most blues-oriented. Released April 19th, 1971 through Elektra Records, the album peaked at the ninth spot on the Billboard 200. Morrison’s poetic ardor is undiminished and his vocal performance is unwavering in it’s enthusiasm, while the group as a whole returned to their original blues rock roots. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding and jazzy Riders on the Storm.

The last official Doors studio album, . Woman was still high on the charts when, like the "actor out on loan" of its closing track, "Riders on the Storm," Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971

This recording has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes for superior sound quality. Recorded at The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles. CD mastering at Digital Magnetics, Los Angeles, California. Rights Society: GEMA/BIEM. Distribution Code: WE 835.

Woman" is a song by American rock band the Doors. The song is the title track on their 1971 album . Woman, the final album to feature Jim Morrison before his death on 3 July 1971. In the song's bridge, Morrison repeats the phrase "Mr. Mojo Risin'," which is an anagram of "Jim Morrison". The phrase "city of night" that Morrison repeats several times throughout the song is the title of a novel by John Rechy, originally published in 1963

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago Took a look around, see which way the wind blow Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows. Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light Or just another lost angel? City of Night, City of Night City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon. woman, you're my woman Little . Thanks to Michael Bradley, Austin, Nolan Wyda, Curtis Bracken, juan garcia for correcting these lyrics. The song is the title track on the album. The album is the last with Jim Morrison, who died three months after its release. Jim Morrison recorded his vocal part for this song in the bathroom of the studio to achieve the natural reverberation.

LA Woman" is the Doors' blues-rock swan song (at least, for old Jim), and what an album. This is the Lizard King at his bluesman stage, where he gains a certain newfound mystique with possibly, wisdom" While "LA Woman" may not be as perfect as their first two albums, but "Woman" is definitely the album for people who like that hard-hitting blues-rock sound. Being a Doors album, it is bound to have a song or two everyone knows, coming in the form of three songs actually.
