I hope some of you were able to watch Laurel Canyon on Epix the last two Sundays.
It is a great documentary of the music of the late 60s.
Artists include Mamas and Papas, Byrds, CSN&Y, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and many more.

@BobH07 - I didn't get to watch it over the weekend, but assume it will be available for a while. I was going to subscribe to Epix for a while b/c there was another series that I wanted to see. I hope to see Laurel Canyon, sounds really interesting.

@BobH07 - I watched the Laurel Canyon documentary, and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for mentioning it. I loved the music from that era. They were fabulous songwriters and musicians who really cared for their craft. You don't see that anymore.
In a similar vein: Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice
It is a documentary by CNN Films, and is currently available for rent on Prime Video and YouTube TV. At some point, Amazon will probably move it to the Prime free list. I saw it on CNN when it was released, and it is an excellent presentation of her entire career.
