About
Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the second of two solos on "Love Her Madly" from The Doors' 1971 album L.A. Woman. Following Ray Manzarek's organ feature, Krieger takes his turn at an uptempo 147 BPM in A with a rock feel on the album's hit single. The dual-solo structure echoes the approach used on "Light My Fire," with organ and guitar each taking a featured turn. Krieger's solo brings a grittier, more blues-inflected energy compared to Manzarek's more textural organ work, providing a satisfying instrumental contrast within the track.
Robby Krieger was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
