LatestWith hard drugs, bigger paychecks, and the Manson murders, the once neighborly music scene began to shift. In spite of it all, a new wave of troubadours came in and continued to captivate those beyond their rustic home.
Featuring all-new, original interviews with Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Michelle Phillips, Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Roger McGuinn and more, this uniquely immersive and experiential two-part docuseries takes us back in time to a place where a rustic canyon in the heart of Los Angeles became a musical petri dish.
