Popular music and the music “industry” changed dramatically in the 1960’s. The Beatles opened the door, and a host of singer/songwriters rushed through after them. This book focuses on the California music scene and the incredible talent that lived together for a time in Laurel Canyon: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell, Cass Elliot, John Mayall, Frank Zappa, to name a few.
Performers became wealthy beyond their wildest imaginings as they wrested control of their music from record and production companies, and drug use laid waste to many fortunes. The music was beautiful. It led me to seek out the remastered recordings of Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Beatles and the Byrds.
