The music of my youth
5
By storytellerstudios
A wonderfully produced documentary regarding the artists of Laurel Canyon, California during the 60s and 70s. The Byrds; The Mommas & The Papas; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Joni Mitchel; Jackson Brown; The Eagles...just to name a few. The series emphasises the music and friendships of these artists- arguably the greatest community (literally a community) of musicians the world has ever seen. I appreciate the director's decision not to make this all about drama, infighting and drugs, which certainly ruined many lives; however, I wanted to see and hear more about the music of my youth- Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time delivers beautifully in this way. Home videos, photographs and interviews by the artists, along with a soundtrack of their music, wonderfully edited, creates an intircate tapestry, capturing the esence of this magical time. Highly recommend!
