I Won't Be Alone Anymore/Kansas City Blue Thumb BTA 252 1974

I Won't Be Alone Anymore (1974) The Doors’ lead singer, Jim Morrison, died in 1971, the remaining members of The Doors were in disarray about their group’s future. Should they find a replacement? They released two albums without their lead man before considering the idea of bringing in a new lead vocalist. After a few failed auditions in London in 1973, The Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek decided to head back to California and consequently left the band. The remaining members, John Densmore and Robby Krieger, decided to form an entirely new band that same year. Gathering a group of musicians to play by their side, they chose a name to mimic their feelings of desperation and desire to start creating again; the chosen name was what you read above. After the release of their first album, The Butts Band, the pressure of the band members’ homes being split between Los Angeles and London was too much for the group and they split up. Densmore and Krieger continued under the same name by bringing together new musicians. They released one last album, Hear and Now, in 1975, before calling it quits for the final time. Written by Robby Krieger, this song was the opening track to the group’s first album, The Butts Band, released in 1974. With a juvenile name for their band and the public’s pre-conceived notion that they were going to be as close as one could imagine to The Doors’ continuation, the general populace was somewhat surprised when they heard tracks like the one heard below. Gone was the intensity and keyboard-centered songs of yesteryear. In its place was a laid-back folky sound leaning toward the jazz that would soon take over Robby Krieger’s style. Don’t expect to hear The Doors here.

Get Up, Stand Up/Mike's Blues Blue Thumb 263 1975This release was from the MK2 band with all American/Canadian musicians. Very 2nd rate after the superb Anglo/American MK1.
The B Side was a non album track written by Mike Stull. Interestingly it was Mike Stull who was the prime candidate in 1971 to replace Jim Morrison after he left for Europe (and was still alive) and possibly before that. He was managed by Bill Siddons who obviously wanted his guy as a new frontman. Thankfully it never happened as he is very much in the Z category compared to some considered for the role after Jim died.![https://i.postimg.cc/7LLKtzBt/g1.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/7LLKtzBt/g1.jpg) ![https://i.postimg.cc/nLw0yLgF/R-7454605-1482356680-4751.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/nLw0yLgF/R-7454605-1482356680-4751.jpg)
