Riders on the Storm

From L.A. Woman (1971)

History

Inspired by the folklore of the American West and the song "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend", "Riders on the Storm" is a haunting and atmospheric track that showcases The Doors' blues and jazz influences. The song's distinctive sound effects, including rain and thunder, create a sense of foreboding and mystery. It was the last song recorded by The Doors with Jim Morrison before his death.
