Some of your who-inspired-who questions may be answered as 'Laurel Canyon', presented by Epix, takes you on a journey with some of the biggest names that impacted popular culture in the late '60s and early '70s.
A summary on the Epix website reads: "Featuring all-new, original interviews with Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Michelle Phillips, Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Roger McGuinn and more, the uniquely immersive and experiential docuseries takes us back in time to a place where a rustic canyon in the heart of Los Angeles became a musical petri dish."
