Synopsis
Drummer John Densmore's 1990 memoir of his experiences with the Doors, the formidable 1960s quartet that blended rock, poetry, and psychedelic mysticism, is a refreshingly clear-eyed look at the complex tangle of relationships that bound the band's personnel together. Densmore doesn't wholly subscribe to the Jim Morrison as godlike genius theory, which makes for a more down-to-earth appraisal of Morrison's obvious talents and equally apparent eccentricities--exposure to which caused the drummer to suspect that his singer was unbalanced, if not psychotic. It's obvious from RIDERS ON THE STORM's opening chapter, which describes a visit to Morrison's grave five years after the singer's death, that Densmore holds Morrison in high regard, and is also still furious at him for dying and thereby abandoning the band. Densmore's stories of drugs, girls, and excess will be familiar to most devoted Doors fans, but here they gain a realistic edge far removed from the esoteric commentary and psychological analysis of many Doors biographies. Racy, entertaining, and poignant, RIDERS' narrative is given extra depth by its author's adherence to the idealism and passion of the '60s, which have survived intact in the two decades since the death of his story's main protagonist.

Industry reviews
"'Riders on the Storm' is very enjoyable, especially its homespun and self experienced insights. John Densmore is a survivor and a seeker."
Book Jacket - Oliver Stone 

"Here, John (Densmore) shares his keen insights into those hallowed times-the labyrinth of rock in the sixties-and does so with unbridled frankness and a sincere respect for the truth."
Book Jacket - Bill Graham 

"'Riders on the Storm' is invaluable first-person testimony, and not just about the Doors."

"Densmore's is the first Doors biography that feels like it was written for the right reasons, and it is easily the most informed account of the Doors' brief but brilliant life as a group...Densmore is a fluent, articulate writer who both comprehends the Doors' unearthly power and is on familiar terms with their antecedents in literature, theater, and myth."
Goldstein 

"('Riders on the Storm') is a rarity in the world of rock writing; an insider's account written WITHOUT the help of a ghostwriter."
Graham 

" 'Riders on the Storm' is a deeply moving, even haunting personal memoir. Thoughtful and passionate..."
Graham 

"Indispensable for fans of one of rock music's most flamboyant and controversial groups."
Graham
