When music wasn't copied. Enlightening insights. Great efforts by those on the sountrack. Some music just steals your heart. If this music isn't in your soul, you may not love this movie as much as I did. The story needed to be told. So happy they did. Thanks ~ to all of you ~ then and now. 💗

Um documentário que relembra Laurel Canyon, que eu desconhecia até assistir essa promoção, e que não é uma pessoa, e sim um núcleo criativo para músicos jovens e inovadores, o caldeirão da Hollywood dos anos 1960. Embalado pela trilha maravilhosa dos anos 60, digna de homenagens e retratação...

Was so pleased they didn't butcher this material and idea. REALLY well done.

Most of the cover songs were pretty unsuccessful, wah ... but the stories and the original recordings used were brilliant.

I find it amazing that Bob Dylan's name wouldn't even be mentioned. OK, he wasn't a Californian but his influence is all over the 60s and subsequent decades. Quite bizarre.

I really enjoyed this flashback in time, with Bob Dylan's son Jakob, to California in the 1960's and all the great music and bands that came together to create it.

Self-indulgent vehicle for Jacob Dylan's ego. There are some (few) interesting bits but mostly feels like he was trying pretty hard to get time in front of the camera. I'd rather hear classic songs by the original artists, not lame covers.

The interviews were great. But Jakob Dylan sings entire cover songs of theses 60's hits. I kept my remove handy and just fast forward through his lengthy and terrible covers.

If you're into music history of that era. I was and I enjoyed it.

Echo in the Canyon is a loving tribute to a golden age of music. The music of Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. It's not comprehensive but it's definitely a great snapshot of a great era. Hosted by Jakob Dylan it's a little history lesson of that era interspersed with interviews from some of the greats of that era. Plus vision from a tribute concert held in 2015 that included luminaries such as Beck, Cat Power and Fiona Apple. The era was the birth of rock exploding with folk and even country. The main acts featured are The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas. We see great interviews with Roger McGuinn, David Cassidy, Stephen Stills, Michelle Phillips and many others. It was a golden age of big hits, glorious melodies and breaking the rules.

Good bit of interesting history with interviews by stars that were there. Points off for dylan's kid's and motley crew of wannabees playing the music vs showing the originals and his camera hogging.

This was a really great narration of the music scene in the early to mid 60's swirling in and around Laurel Canyon. I greatly enjoyed the stories of the bands just ahead of my time, the connections and collaborations, and the perspectives of the West Coast scene. I found it to be a nice film of rock history, and I will definitely be following up with a good bit of listening to old albums with a new ear.

I thought I knew a lot about "The California Sound." I was wrong! A thoroughly engrossing movie!

Jakob Dylan did an awesome job. He accurately captures the spirit of the times thru some of the folks who lived it.

In my opinion, a bit too elitist and pretentious.

I bought six classic records from that time after watching, plus Dylan's CD of remakes, which is terrific. Great film- one of the best rock documentaries I've ever seen. I only wish it had been longer- could have watched all night!

I enjoyed this very much. Well done and told in a way that made me wish I was 10 years older.

Meh. This is fine. I am a musician and while I can appreciate the history I grew tired of hearing only Jakob Dylan's performances of the classics. Would have been nice to hear a LOT more originals.

Apparently Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King didn't make a sound when they made music in Laurel Canyon. Very narrow view of things. Although One can see the rapport artists had with Jakob Dylan, it felt like a vanity project of his because he sang and played on every live song. Disappointing.

I was extremely disappointed by the glaring omissions of several artists who were innovators of the genre. First and foremost, Gram Parsons. He wasn't even mentioned. Joni Mitchell, whose voice could move mountains. Her lyrics could make you break down and cry. Then Judy Collins, Carol King who ditched Brill, The Eagles (not my faves but still).....I could keep on...The worst part is I am too young to even have been able to listen to these folks when they published. I just love music. This movie was presented to highlight just a few artists. You have to remember that the artists presented moved from group to group. From Buffalo Springfield to Crosby, Stills and Nash (and at times, Young.) The lens on this movie was way too narrow. BTW, I have seen all these musicians live.
