When this episode goes live, I'll be in Laurel Canyon, LA...so I thought it was the perfect excuse to do an episode about, well, Laurel Canyon! Or more specifically, the music that came out of that particular Los Angeles neighbourhood in the late 60s and early 70s.
I have long been fascinated with Laurel Canyon because so many of my very favourite artists lived there back in the day, and wrote much of the music that I still listen to on a regular basis in 2022. The Eagles, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, The Mamas & The Papas...the list goes on.
What I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall (or even better, a guest) at one of the parties held at Mama Cass or Joni Mitchell's houses.
And of course...I've done it in playlist style! Here's the Spotify Link...
