A bit overrated I think. Many of the bluesy numbers are a bit stale to me. By Crawling King Snake, the appeal of the blues rock has worn off. I love Morrison's lyrics though. He doesn't ever give away much, but he drops each little bit of creativity very effectively. Highlights for me were The Changeling, Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, and Riders on the Storm. It's just a really laid back and enjoyable album; you can tell that they were just having a good time recording this.

Oh, yes I knew that John Doe. Still though, it's not like these blues songs have the same punishing quality, that say, Led Zeppelin's first album does. I also like Hyacinth House as well, really good lyrics on that song. Texas Radio is horrible.

Love the "progressive rock" label on this one when its clearly the most "Blues Rock" album of psychadelic band that was never that prog in the first place.

Riders On The Storm and L.A Woman are both all time classics, the rest of the album was good but nothing special.

"L.A. Woman" is a great karaoke song.
