Doors – The Soft Parade (Vinyl LP)

After considerably broadening their sound on Waiting For The Sun, the Doors decided to continue pushing the envelope with their next release. Incorporating brass, strings and even a full orchestra, The Soft Parade is easily the most challenging album in the Doors’ catalog. Though the hit “Touch Me” and other tracks hearken back to the band’s edgier self, the title track is a multipart rock suite that evokes some of the psychedelic era’s worst excesses.
