Those are some pretty big shoes to fill.

The shoes are the easy part...the mood, attitude and vocal chords are the tough chores.

They should have got Jeff Martin (Tea Party). He has the voice, the passion, the feel. Most people that don't know the band assume old stuff is the Doors.

There was a album put out last year with various people singing Doors songs and Ian was on that album.

I cannot remember it's name off hand but I do have it somehwhere here in the stacks lol

I may be wrong but I believe Ray Manzarek produced it but I could not find info on it off hand right now.

If Jim were alive today he possibly couldn't carry a tune in a bucket after all these years. On the other hand my hearing is so bad I couldn't tell the difference anyway.

He'd probably be singing in Vegas like Elvis. He always did like the desert lol
