The heart of the Laurel Canyon sound encompasses such harmony driven bands as Buffalo Springfield, The Mamas & Papas, and Crosby, Stills & Nash and also encompasses the startling creativity of Joni Mitchell, The Byrds, and Beach Boys as well as the noir-ish sounds of The Doors. As the 60’s turned into the 70’s, the Laurel Canyon sound ruled the worlds airwaves, and is most associated with singer- songwriters like Joni Mitchell, & Jackson Browne. Laurel Canyon’s long history as a home to emerging artists continues today, but perhaps was never as ascendant or as charmed, as in the mid to late 60’s.
