Waiting For The Sun
The Doors
Waiting For The Sun contains the band only number-one single and a track adapted from a longer poem by Jim Morrison. Despite the difficulties during the recording process, the album represents a clear shift in their creative direction.
There is a notable tension between the group blues-rock foundations and their new interest in flamenco guitar and baroque arrangements. This change captures the psychedelic atmosphere of late-sixties Los Angeles as the band explored a more polished aesthetic.
