ECHO IN THE CANYON – A documentary spearheaded by Bob Dylan’s son, Jakob. A great slice of musicians’ lives in the Laurel Canyon area of L.A. back in the 60s. Interviews with the original musicians intertwine with excerpts of their songs as well as excerpts of Jakob and his friends performing their songs in tribute. Appearances by Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Michelle Phillips and others highlight this interesting peek into a musical LA retreat where creativity flourished and I never knew existed. Of course, the Beatles are given their due and it becomes apparent how much bands influence each other – the end result being music that remains timeless. Boyfriend meter – 1. Cheers!
