The Doors- Waiting For The Sun (Elektra Records)
Released -July 3, 1968
Waiting for the Sun (1968), the third album by The Doors, arrived at a moment when the band was already one of the most prominent rock groups in America. Recorded between late 1967 and early 1968 and released on Elektra Records, the album reflects both creative ambition and growing internal strain, particularly as Jim Morrison struggled with heavy drinking and the pressure to produce new material.
Musically, the record shows the group’s wide stylistic range. Songs like “Hello, I Love You” delivered commercial radio success, while tracks such as “The Unknown Soldier” and “Five to One” explored darker, more experimental and political themes. Robby Krieger’s inventive guitar work, Ray Manzarek’s distinctive organ textures, and John Densmore’s jazz-influenced drumming help maintain the band’s unmistakable sound. Despite mixed critical reactions at the time, the album became the band’s only U.S. number-one LP and remains an important entry in their catalog. (S5-Ep14)
