Underappreciated album for sure! (To be fair it's the least good of the classic Jim albums but nonetheless has some greats on it). I love "Shaman's Blues" and "Wishful Sinful" too. The bassline in the main jam part of The Soft Parade always reminded me of the bossa nova music of Horace Silver
Great picks, I love both of those songs too and definitely planning to play them at some point :) John Densmore has always had bossa nova in him, through him it finds its way into many Doors songs.
@@sweetestperfection90 That one's among my favorites. I first heard it only a couple years back way after I'd heard the original album, but I was amazed, the vocals especially are great.
