Nestled in the Hollywood Hills, high above the hustle and bustle of Sunset Boulevard, the woodsy community of Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles became home to a who’s who of the nascent rock-and-roll musical scene in the mid-to-late 1960s. The Mamas and the Papas, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young all lived for time in this magical place, hanging out at each other’s houses making great music together. Alison Ellwood (The Go-Go’s) brings together a highly entertaining array of contemporary interviews, home movie footage, and vintage performance clips to create the experience we have all been waiting for: a free pass to the coolest living room assemblage of musicians imaginable.
