The Doors “Roadhouse Blues” Songfacts
When Jim Morrison got drunk, he liked to sing blues numbers at The Doors jam sessions. ‘Roadhouse Blues” in one of the songs he came up with at one of those inebriated sessions.
If there was an actual roadhouse that inspired this song, it was probably the Topanga Corral, a windowless nightclub in the counterculture enclave of the Topanga Canyon, where Jim Morrison lived. To get to the venue you had to take Topanga Canyon Boulevard, which is full of twists and turns – you really did need to “keep your eyes on the road, your hand upon the wheel.”
There was a cabin behind the Topanga Corral that many sources say Morrison bought for his girlfriend, Pamela Courson. This could be what provided the line, “In back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows.”
John Sebastian from the Lovin’ Spoonful played harmonica. He is identified on the album as “G. Puglese” because he was afraid to be identified with The Doors in light of Morrison’s arrest at a concert in Miami when he was accused of exposing himself to the crowd. Morrison was convicted of indecent exposure and sentenced to six months in jail, but he died while the case was being appealed. In 2010, Florida governor Charlie Crist granted Morrison a pardon.
“Roadhouse Blues” is the first song on album “Morrison Hotel” by the Doors. “Morrison Hotel” was a return The Doors’ earlier style. On The Doors previous album, “The Soft Parade”, they used a lot of strings and horns. Morrison didn’t do much on “The Soft Parade” because he was drunk for most of it and had nothing to do while all the instrumentation was being worked out. Before The Doors had a record deal, they played many Blues songs in their long club shows.
