    Played this one during my livestream last week and had so much fun I wanted to make a video for it. It's just a loose and wild jam, probably shouldn't even be done like this on acoustic but hey... here we are.
    Originally released on the Doors 6th album also titled L.A. Woman in 1971. The last album to be released during Jim Morrison's lifetime. He died 3 months after its release 50 years ago this past July. Long live the Lizard King! I hope you enjoy

    This performance has set the RUclips bar for a solo acoustic classic cover. Beyond any words of mine. You sir, are a artist of cosmic proportions. I listened to this cover five times in a row with the lights out and headphones on. You took my back to my youth, back to 1971.... back to the pure music of my generation. It sounded flawless. You made it look so simple. You gave this work life and energy. This combination happens 1 in a billion RUclips videos.
    Do it again, please!
