Folk, Folk Rock THE BORDER SESSIONS
LND Music Factory Presents The Heirs of Laurel Canyon Act 2 by MDM 320kbit/s

If there was a time when it was furiously rejected by angry punk and grunge rockers, the Los Angeles sixties and seventies scene, and in particular that of Laurel Canyon, has ended up becoming again, these last years, an object of worship, even nostalgia, towards a supposed golden age that its various protagonists obviously didn't know. Like Joni Mitchell, Carol King or Frank Zappa in their time, some of them even settled in this legendary canyon to find there the "vibes" of a time forever gone by and to record there, with vintage material, timeless records that could have seen the light of day half a century ago.

She & Him, Jonathan Wilson, Dawes, Fleet Foxes, Avi Buffalo and Vetiver have become, among many others, the leading figures of a musical current that openly claims the heritage of the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young or America. Hype and retro at the same time. The "hippie chic" Laurel Canyon style is back in fashion and music, and has definitely a bright future ahead of it.
