L.A. Woman was the last Doors album released before Jim Morrison's death. The album's style is arguably the most blues-like of the band's catalogue. Following the departure of their record producer Paul A. Rothchild around November 1970, the Doors and engineer Bruce Botnick began production on the album at The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles. Most of the tracks were recorded live, except for a few overdubbed keyboard parts by Ray Manzarek. Session musicians Jerry Scheff and Mark Benno entered the studio in January 1971 to put some finishing touches. Curiously on the inside sleeve of the album, a woman is depicted crucified on a telephone pole.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 362 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
A remixed version of the album has been released on DVD-Audio.
