Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Although often regarded as their least convincing album (barring the two LPs cut after singer Jim Morrison's death), The Soft Parade contains some of the band's most eccentric and uncharacteristic music. This fourth album by The Doors broadened the sound of the band by adding a horn section, congas, fiddle, and mandolin on some of the tracks. The Doors played with a variety of styles, ranging from the countrified hoe-down of "Runnin' Blue" to the cheesy easy-listening mid-section of the title song. There are also some classic tunes here: "Shaman's Blues" returns to the psychedelic blues-rock of earlier LPs, and the final track 'The Soft Parade' is another epic album-closer. The rest of the songs--among them Robby Krieger compositions such as "Wishful Sinful"--reveal the band in a more reflective and relaxed mode. Not a great Doors album then, but worth investigating--maybe after sampling LA Woman, or their debut The Doors. --Burhan Tufail
CD Description
Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album", SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrisonwas fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People", and of course "Shaman's Blues". The album's biggest hit "Touch Me", while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among thegreat '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics thatwere Morrison's trademark.
