Why read it?
1 author picked Laurel Canyon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book for its deep dive into the music and time period of the 1960s and 1970s. It’s a wonderful discovery of the bands that made this era of music so wonderful and how Laurel Canyon was in the center of it.
There are great behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with the people who were there, in the industry and making the music. It’s a great glimpse into the vision, values, and freedom of the time and how it all got funneled into that fantastic music I so love.
From Heather's list on 60s 70s rock and roll stories.
