Waiting for the Sun by The Doors [CD]

Description: This was the album which was due to feature Celebration of the Lizard - Jim Morrisons eagerly-awaited 10-minute poem written in tribute to said sexy reptile. Alas though, it wasnt to be. Instead they inserted less ambitious oldie Hello I Love You at the last minute and hoped that no-one would mind. Unsurprisingly, it sticks out like a sore thumb on a set which represents the peak of Jim Morrisons belief that he was some kind of leather-trousered shaman. Were this not a 60s rock group, such acts of narcotic delusion might signal disaster. Narcotic delusion though, was what 60s rock groups did best - and heres an album full of it: the elegiac piano inflections that frame Yes the River Knows; the warped, disembodied Not to Touch the Earth and that oft-overlooked pagan sea-shanty My Wild Love. Indeed, only The Unknown Soldier and Five to One serve to remind the listener that this was an album recorded at the peak of the Vietnam war - the latter lyric, of course, spawning the title of Morrisons best-selling biography No-One Here Gets Out Alive.
