The Doors have released the last known unreleased song from The Doors vault today, “Paris Blues”.
“Paris Blues” traveled a long and winding path to its release, taking on a mythic quality among Doors fans along the way. An original blues song written by the band, the track was recorded during one of the band’s recording sessions for either The Soft Parade or L.A. Woman (no one seems to remember). The song – has been talked about by fans and band members for years. The long wait is finally over.

“Paris Blues” also serves as the title track to a new Doors blues-themed compilation of the same name coming out on vinyl for Record Store Day’s Black Friday event next Friday, November 25th. The album will be available as a limited edition of 10,000 numbered copies on translucent blue vinyl at select independent music stores. The LP’s cover art is an original painting by guitarist Robby Krieger and the set also includes liner notes by blues scholar Mary Katherine Aldin.
