Doors. The - The Soft Parade (1969)

 
 
The fourth album from this band from USA.
 
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
 
Some guests added woodwinds, congas, bass, mandolin, fiddle and classic orchestra instruments.

The band carried on despite of Jim Morrison's alchoholism and other problems. He is still to be found on this album.

Despite of his alcoholism and drugs misuse, Jim managed to deliver some very good vocals on this album. That is a minor miracle.

The music is all over the place. From bluegrass to whimsical pop and some psych rock. The band sounds unhinged throughout this album. The strings from an classical music orchestra does not make the music and situation any better.

There are some decent songs here and some songs who falls flat on their faces. The result is a poor, poor album.

1.5 points
