À propos de cet audio

 Laurel Canyon was the neighborhood perched above the clubs and record companies of Sunset Strip where Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, Graham Nash, Cass Elliot, Carole King, Don Henley, and Peter Tork, just to name a few, lived and collaborated to make an indelible mark on our music and our culture. This is the story of an important period in rock music, but also of the harsher results of the sixties, as hard drugs and easy sex began to take their toll and the gruesome Wonderland murders signaled the end of the era.©2006 Michael Walker (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Laurel Canyon is hilarious and true and bittersweet. Michael Walker catches the mood in the air, and gets it right....The interviews are wonderful....It's a beautifully written document of that time and place when the personalities were as big as those stony dreams that fueled some of the greatest masterpieces in rock." (Cameron Crowe)

This was a fascinating book, so well written. The history of Laurel Canyon lives at the birthplace of folk rock, and rock and roll, in the 60’s and 70’s… so many of the top musicians and bands of the era either lived here or hung out here. It’s definitely a trip down memory lane, while peeking behind the curtain. Highly recommended.

Fantastic

Walker’s book gives a thorough rendering of what made this LA neighborhood such a mythical scene. His anecdotal history contains a long list of musicians and celebs who lived, hung out, and partied there. He connects the place to a wider cultural context through several eras and the unique influence it had on the artists and hangers on who spent time in this legendary canyon.
