Keep your Eyes on the Roads, Your Hands upon the Wheel…goes the famous songRoadhouse Blues by the greatest ever American Rock band The Doors. This song from their hit albumMorrison Hotel was released in February 1970 and went on to gain cult status. The Doors was formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. The Doors' music was a fusion of garage rock, blues, and acid rock.
They were considered a controversial band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in controversial circumstances in July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973. Despite a career that barely totalled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. The Doors have sold over 32 million albums in the US alone.
