Golden oldie from Sophie B. Hawkins.

Movie coming in July. I'd be interested in seeing it. Crosby's survival to a ripe old age is one of the medical marvels of our time.(Second perhaps to that of Keith Richards's.)

Annie Lennox.

Live from Chicago, Stevie Nicks.

This is a nice story.

Beautifully covered by Suddenly Years Align.

UPDATE: link fixed now.

Echo In The Canyon celebrates the explosion of popular music that came out of LA’s Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s as folk went electric and The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas gave birth to the California Sound.  It was a moment (1965 to 1967) when bands came to LA to emulate The Beatles and Laurel Canyon emerged as a hotbed of creativity and collaboration for a new generation of musicians who would soon put an indelible stamp on the history of American popular music.

A bit of detail here.

By The Lumineers. In the vein of the Boss depressing lyrics are wedded to a gloriously upbeat tune. From the forthcoming album.

With her dad playing piano and singing backup, a gorgeous cover by Lilly Winwood.
