The Doors - The Soft Parade (1969) (40th Anniversary Mixes)
The Soft Parade, first released in 1969, climbed to #6 and featured the #3 hit "Touch Me," "Shaman's Blues," "Wild Child," and more. Boasts in-depth liner notes by Rolling Stone writer David Fricke. Six bonus tracks include a previously unissued version of "Touch Me," the previously unheard "Push, Push," and two unreleased takes of "Whiskey, Mystics And Men."
This is the Doors' fourth album released in July 1969. Only a few seconds into the first song you know this is going to be a different kind of album. Ray Manzarek said in a book that the strings and brass were his idea. The big hit single off the album was "Touch Me" initially put out six months earlier and penned by Robbie Kreiger. In fact, Kreiger wrote five of the nine original tracks. There were three other singles: "Wishful Sinful", "Tell All The People" and "Runnin' Blue". The title track runs just under ten minutes. The bonus tracks include alternate versions of "Touch Me" and "Whiskey, Mystics, and Men",the latter appearing on the Doors Box Set. There's also a song called "Push Push". The other track "Who Scared You" also appeared on the Doors Box Set.
This was arguably the band's weakest album not so much because of the strings and brass but more because of inferior songwriting. But the album as a whole along with the bonus tracks is still enjoyable. I'll recommend only die-hard fans to get this album. For the casual fan, it won't be a bad addition but you're not missing too much if you skip it...Edgar Olivares
