The Doors - The Soft Parade album cover | |||||||||||||||
The Soft Parade is a studio album by the The Doors, released in 1969.
The album met with some controversy among fans and critics due to its inclusion of brass and string instrument arrangements, as opposed to the more stripped-down sound of their earlier recordings. Fans also complained that The Soft Parade followed the lyrical formulas of previous albums, thus was not very innovative. It is also different from the Doors' other albums because a number of the song lyrics were written by the band's guitarist, Robby Krieger, partly because Jim Morrison was also working on putting together a pair of self-published poetry books. After this album, the Doors returned to simpler styles on Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman, with just the four band members playing. For the first time, the songs were credited to individual members (only Morrison or Krieger on the album sleeve itself are credited) as Morrison was unhappy with the line about people being told to get their guns in Krieger's "Tell All the People", although the title track had Morrison's line of "Better bring your gun". Track listing: 1. "Tell All the People" (Robby Krieger) – 3:21 2. "Touch Me" (Robby Krieger) – 3:12 3. "Shaman's Blues" (Jim Morrison) – 4:48 4. "Do It" (Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger) – 3:08 5.
