The Doors

 Doors (1967): This record brought them immediate success thanks to 'Light my Fire' and 'Break on Through (To the Other Side)'. His first album was already playing on all the radio stations in America.

On this LP there are magnificent representations of keyboard, guitar and drums.Ray Manzarek was the keyboard player in the band. He mastered it and created catchy, high-quality riffs. He learned to play the piano at a conservatory. You can see it reflected in the solos and phrases he does in countless songs.

Robby Krieger the guitarist attended classical guitar classes and was fond of flamenco. He played with his fingers, rarely using the pick. He also really liked playing with the 'slide'. This small tube is used more in the following records.

John Densmore was the band's drummer. A great drummer who with his arrangements improved each song. He was a lover of jazz. This can be seen in his playing.

And finally Jim Morrison: the voice. He was the center of attention of the group in terms of the public. He had a very powerful voice. But it cost him to become the singer. He didn't want to be, he was ashamed. In the group's first performances at 'Whisky Go Go' he would turn his back to the audience and sing. This was also done by Sixto Rodríguez in his first walks through music. But one day in the middle of a song Jim Morrison finally steps up and turns around to finish the song on a high.In conclusion, it is an album that you have pending if you have not heard it because it is one of the albums that makes the famous year 1967 great.
