In the late sixties and early seventies, an impromptu collection
of musicians colonized a eucalyptus-scented canyon deep in the Hollywood
Hills of Los Angeles and melded folk, rock, and savvy American pop into
a sound that conquered the world as thoroughly as the songs of the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones had before them. Thirty years later, the
music made in Laurel Canyon continues to pour from radios, iPods, and
concert stages around the world. During the canyon's golden era, the
musicians who lived and worked there scored dozens of landmark hits,
from "California Dreamin'" to "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" to "It's Too
Late," selling tens of millions of records and resetting the thermostat
of pop culture.
In Laurel Canyon,
veteran journalist Michael Walker tells the inside story of this
unprecedented gathering of some of the baby boomer's leading musical
lights―including Joni Mitchell; Jim Morrison; Crosby, Stills, and Nash;
John Mayall; the Mamas and the Papas; Carole King; the Eagles; and Frank
Zappa, to name just a few―who turned Los Angeles into the music capital
of the world and forever changed the way popular music is recorded,
marketed, and consumed.
