The Doors were a Los Angeles-based rock band formed in 1965, best known for their poetic lyrics and blues-heavy, psychedelic sound. "Roadhouse Blues" was released as a single in 1970, during a period of increasing tension within the band and a shift towards a more raw, blues-based sound in their live performances.
