Echo in the Canyon, a new documentary about Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon and the music from the mid-1960s, will be releasing a soundtrack featuring music by Cat Power, Fiona Apple, Jakob Dylan, Beck, Eric Clapton, and more. It’s out May 24 via BMG. Listen to Jakob Dylan and Jade Castrinos’ cover of the Mamas & The Papas’ Go Where You Wanna Go” from the soundtrack below, and scroll down for the tracklist.
Echo in the Canyon features in-depth interviews with many of the musicians that made Laurel Canyon a cultural epicenter: Tom Petty (to whom the film is dedicated), Brian Wilson, Eric Clapton, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Jackson Browne, Michelle Phillips, Ringo Starr, and more. The film was directed by former music journalist, record producer, and label executive Andrew Slater, and it premieres in Los Angeles on May 24. A New York showing will follow on May 31. Both openings will feature performances by musicians from the film.
Back in 2015, many of the artists featured on the Echo in the Canyon OST performed a concert in Los Angeles in connection with the film. Beck, Fiona Apple, Jakob Dylan, Cat Power, and others covered classic Southern California songs by the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Mamas & the Papas, the Turtles, the Association, Buffalo Springfield, and more.
