Aside from Jakob hogging the spotlight, it’s absurd how little insight Echo in the Canyon has.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 21, 2024

Ultimately this isn't a history of a generation but an enjoyable look at a brief period that still echoes in the imaginations and ears of many fans.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

A laid back and breezy re-capturing of a key period in music.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

This film makes no attempt to be comprehensive, ignoring the problematic parts of the story and portraying Laurel Canyon as a little piece of musical paradise.

Slater's work is an amiable, moving and, at times, fascinating look at a group of talented musicians who are relatively honest and occasionally insightful about their experiences.

[The subjects are] cheerily and delightfully frank ... [letting] their hair down with the grace of those who know their impact is for the ages and have nothing left to prove nor hide. They've got great stories, and collectively, they're just a great hang.

Anyone who thrills to the radiant jangle of a Rickenbacker guitar will want to catch this evocative documentary about LA's Laurel Canyon music scene in the mid-1960s.

Echo in the Canyon is a lamentably thin documentary about the vibrant folk-rock music scene that flourished in the bohemian Los Angeles neighbourhood of Laurel Canyon from 1965 to 1967.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2020

There is ... some desperately bland film-making on display here

A celebration of the folk-rock-pop explosion in the West Coast in the mid-Sixties, this documentary-cum-concert movie is tailor-made for music geeks.

The film gathers together many of the scene's progenitors to wax lyrical about the creative melting pot that made it unique.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 6, 2020

The movie is a glorious tribute.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2020

If you love all that stuff, as I do, this will be 82 minutes well spent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2020

Slater didn't need to get every last Canyon musician on camera, but to avoid mentioning many of them altogether is a total dereliction of duty.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2020

Several of the talking heads and reminiscences were part of Jon Brewer's nostalgic documentary Legends of the Canyon: The Origins of West Coast Rock (2010), but Slater's film is slicker, better photographed, and more revealing.

| Mar 20, 2020

Here's one more documentary that's worth a look... The movie still includes extensive chats with [many artists], along with generous doses of their music. How wrong can you go?

While Echo In The Canyon was probably made with the best of intentions, it ultimately fails to satisfy or do justice to its source material.

For a music guy, Slater keeps his rock doc visually captivating with rare photographs, vintage 온라인카지노추천 performances and clips... the true stars of Echo in the Canyon are the timeless songs...

Like sitting around a recording studio and shooting the breeze with undeniably cool old dudes.
