Music reviews of An American Prayer
Music Review: Bad Poet Rising
Rating: 2 Stars
"I'll always be a word man/Better than a bird man" - Jim Morrison
Regardless of the critical scorn that greeted this posthumous release, Doors aficionados should listen to Jim Morrison's "An American Prayer" (1978) at least once. "Ghost Song" and the powerful live recording of "Roadhouse Blues" are worth your time. The rest, for the most part, is Bad Poetry - ample proof that Mr. Mojo Risin' excelled as a lyricist.

Title: AMERICAN PRAYER
Street Release Date: 05/23/1995
Genre: ROCK/POP
The Doors recorded six studio albums with Jim Morrison as their singer from 1967 to 1971, hitting the charts with a series of pop songs that were at least as good as Tommy James and the Shondells. On their albums, they indulged in Morrison's pretentious obsessions that included extended pieces about Oedipal complexes and the end of the world. Those obsessions have been exaggerated by The Doors myth that continues to this day. This is a collection of Morrison's poetry, embellished by the surviving Doors several years after the fact. That the live rendition of "Roadhouse Blues" is the only noteworthy selection should tell you what you need to know about the poetry. --Rob O'Connor
