This documentary celebrates the music that came out of the Laurel
Canyon Neighborhood of Los Angeles in the mid-60’s, when multiple artists moved
in the area and started creating a massive amount of songs and records. We look
at such bands as The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas
& The Papas. In this film, Jakob Dylan, Bob’s son, interviews many of the
people who were there, involved this booming period. He also performs some of
those songs on stage and in the studio, with various guests.
I love musical documentaries about creative people I admire, and this is definitely one of the good ones. It is informative and very interesting, though it feels a little incomplete. I could have taken much more, including discussion about other bands of that era, such as The Doors.
