"An American Prayer" is a posthumous album that combines spoken word poetry by Jim Morrison with musical overdubs by the surviving members of The Doors. It stands as a unique, albeit controversial, epilogue to the band's recorded output.
- The album was originally released in 1978, with music composed and performed by Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger, who overdubbed their parts onto Morrison's spoken-word recordings.
- "An American Prayer" reached number 79 on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The spoken-word recordings themselves were made by Morrison in a Los Angeles studio in 1969 and 1970.
The Doors were a Los Angeles-based rock band formed in 1965, known for their poetic, blues-infused, psychedelic sound. This album was released six years after the death of lead singer Jim Morrison.
