In 1967, The Doors released not one, but two albums. Their self-titled debut in January of ‘67 with songs like “Light My Fire” and “The End,” and it’s follow-up, Strange Days, released on September 25, 1967.
It’s lesser known than the debut and didn’t have any big hits on it, but Strange Days was a brilliant album with a more polished and spacious sound courtesy of producer Paul Rothschild. The album is darker than the debut with songs like “Strange Days” questioning the efficacy of the counter-culture and the epic 11-minute track, “When the Music’s Over.”
In the hindsight of 50 years, Strange Days remains one of the most powerful albums of 1967. Morrison’s relatively minimal lyrics sound more trenchant, Krieger’s guitar more incisive and Densmore’s drumming more inventive than ever before. Ray Manzarek, especially when playing organ, held it all together with his Bach meets jazz phrasing. Finally, Jim Morrison’s voice was powerful; vulnerable when he needed it, dark when he wanted it and passionate always.
