Why read it?

1 author picked Canyon of Dreams as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I used to drive Laurel Canyon every day to work. At the time, I was living in North Hollywood and working in West Hollywood. When I was in high school, my friends and I would hang out in the canyons and race along Mulholland Drive. The people and stories in this book are amazing, and the photos are even better.

This beautiful book takes you back to the 1960s and 1970s — during an extraordinarily creative period when people living in the Canyon were the center of the music universe. I love the intimacy and accuracy of this book.
