The Doors Summer's Gone by Harvey Kubernik Otherworld Cottage Industries (2018) Genre: Rock History Summary: “Kubernik fearlessly tackles a subject that’s been written and discussed countless times since the band first appeared some 50-plus years ago, that being the evolution and tumultuous journey undertaken by Jim Morrison and The Doors. Here again, Kubernik avoids any heady discourse and focuses instead on allowing those who were there -- the band’s Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore, as well as such noted fellow travelers as label executive Jac Holzman, musical contemporaries Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Chris Darrow and Peter Lewis, producer Bruce Botnick and dozens of others -- offer their recollections from a unique first person perspective. A fascinating oral history told in remarkable detail, this is a Doors bio that ranks among the more expansive.” |
