Episode 197: Jakob Dylan & Andrew Slater On Echo In The Canyon

We have a real treat for music aficionados this week, as Edith is joined by Andrew Slater and Jakob Dylan to discuss their brilliant documentary, Echo In The Canyon. The film celebrates the popular music that came out of L.A.’s Laurel Canyon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_Canyon,_Los_Angeles) in the mid-60s as The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mamas and the Papas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mamas_and_the_Papas) cemented the California Sound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Sound) . Andrew and Jakob explore the interplay between these artists in a string of informal interviews with many of the key players, and discover how interconnected the creative process became during this now legendary period. Jakob also covered a number of classics from the era with contemporary artists - including Fiona Apple, Cat Power, Regina Spektor, Beck and Josh Homme.
