	Story Behind the Song This track is a kind of dedication to Paul A. Rothchild, the Doors producer. When Little America was shopping for producers back in '86, we had the good fortune of spending an evening at his house. He cooked hamburgers, told Doors stories, and talked about his philosophy of music and recording. In Rothchild's thinking,if the music was real and it was good, then it was commercial. I learned more about production and how to approach a song from him in one night than I've learned from anyone else since. He told us recording was all about capturing a mood, all about atmosphere. Morrison would sing a verse in tune, but Rothchild would make him sing it again. "It's good, but I don't believe you." And because Paul A. Rothchild hadn't done much since the Outlaws' "Green Grass and High Tides", we went with someone else. "Shadow On My Trail" is about regret.
