About this album

Full Circle is a strikingly uneven but fascinating late Doors album, shaped by the band’s attempt to move forward after Jim Morrison’s death. Issued in 1972, it finds Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore broadening the group’s blues-rock foundation with funk, jazz and Latin touches, while Morrison’s absence gives the record a restless, unresolved quality. Recorded with Bruce Botnick and carrying over the trio’s trademark blend of musicianship and improvisation, it reflects a band testing new directions rather than revisiting old glories. For listeners following the Doors beyond the classic era, it stands as an important post-Morrison statement.
