Description
Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll's Legendary Neighborhood In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a group of musicians came together in a Los Angeles canyon to create a unique sound that blended folk, rock, and American pop. This impromptu collaboration produced some of the most iconic music of the era, with songs like "California Dreamin'" and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" becoming household names. Thirty years on, the music made in Laurel Canyon continues to be celebrated and enjoyed around the world. Veteran journalist Michael Walker tells the story of this pivotal moment in music history, drawing on his own experiences and insights to bring to life the lives and careers of the musicians who lived and worked in the canyon. From Joni Mitchell to the Eagles, and from the Mamas and the Papas to Frank Zappa, Walker's book is a fascinating and detailed account of the people and events that shaped the music of a generation. With its unique blend of music, history, and behind-the-scenes stories, Laurel Canyon is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of popular music.
