About this playlist
Straight up a winding road from Hollywood's Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon was a semi-rural respite in the heart of L.A. where members of The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas & The Papas took up residence alongside anti-hippies like Frank Zappa and Love. By the early '70s, Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were heralds of a singer/songwriter scene nestled in Laurel Canyon.
