S7.E13: The Lore and Canon of Laurel Canyon

from Out of the Main · host Tom Nixon and John Nixon

Tom and John return to a topic they’ve mentioned in passing scores of times over the course of our first seven seasons (assuming everyone was familiar with the lore and canon of one of the most historic eras in modern music history). Is Laurel Canyon a place—or a movement? A sound, or a slice of history? A definitive timeline, or a roster of defined artist names?And what, pray tell, is its adjacency to yacht rock? All of that and more, during our brief recap and basic overview of Laurel Canyon—from the 1960s through the 1980s (if you’ll allow it).Listen and Subscribe:⁠Find the podcast platform of your choice here⁠.Referenced and Related:⁠⁠Playlist of songs featured on Out of the Main⁠⁠⁠John’s Spotify Yacht Rock Playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom’s Spotify Yacht Rock Playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/outro: Stock Music “We’re Here” composed by John H.
