David Wells delves into the Laurel Canyon music community of the late 60s and early 70s, tracing its evolution from Love and The Doors to the emergence of country-rock and singer-songwriters. Situated near Los Angeles, Laurel Canyon attracted a diverse array of musicians, from The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield to Frank Zappa. The scene fostered collaboration, culminating in the rise of a sleeker sound epitomised by The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac in the mid-70s.
