For me, Ray Manzarek`s imput was the key element that made the Doors` sound special. It was smooth and sinister at the same time, or as Jim himself said, "...soft-driven, slow and mad like some new language."
Here is RM making it all look really easy. What impresses me about this clip is the way he`s not trying to impress anyone at all. On the contrary, he deliberately shows himself to`ve been just an ordinary kid like anyone else.
Does anyone have any recommendations about Ray`s solo work, BTW ?
