Too much Jakob not enough archive
I was excited to watch this as the subject is near and dear to my heart, but I was very disappointed… I thought it was going to be all about Laurel Canyon and the legendary music / musicians and it ended up being 50% Jakob Dylan soundtrack promotion. I wanted more from Tom Petty’s last interview and I wanted more from a rare glimpse at Brian Wilson …. i wanted way more in regard to archival footage and photos that exist… I did not need to see Bob Dylan’s son in every scene of a movie that has nothing to do with him. Not to mention all of the artists that were there that they didn’t even mention like Joni Mitchell and The Doors. Well done otherwise, star power was amazing, cinematography was amazing I’d give it a 7/10 although it could have been a 10/10. I wanted to be immersed in the stories and music of that time and instead they kept pulling the viewer into crappy Jakob Dylan rehearsals and cover band concert footage so we only ended up skimming the surface on a subject that has a lot lot lot more to offer which I felt was a shame.

Deviously Deceptive and Disappointing
The focus of this documentary is the musical creativity in the Laurel Canyon district near Los Angeles from 1965 to 1967. The film features music of The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Mamas and the Papas, and The Beach Boys.

Like most documentaries looking back in time, this one includes interviews with those still living who were part of the era. It also includes footage – musical and otherwise. But the musical footage is minimal before it morphs into modern artists singing the same songs in full length. Here is the main flaw in this film.

One of the best times in North American music history was in the period from the mid-60s to the early 70s. This was also a special era in other ways in how people related to each other. Not to undermine the problems of that time (e.g. the Vietnam War), but this was a time of relative prosperity and an era in which people who were together spent time talking to each other rather than staring at their phones simultaneously.

There are recent films that easily bring the viewer back to this great era and easily create an air of genuine nostalgia. They include “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years”, “Amazing Grace”, and “Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind”. Only the latter film includes other artists doing remakes of original songs and these scenes are as short as they ought to be. The opposite case occurs in “Echo in the Canyon”.

In leading the viewer to believe that they will relive a fine era and hear, once again, the great songs of that time as ORIGINALLY performed and recorded, the film is deviously deceptive. It ends up being a manipulative scheme of self-promotion to hear modern artists who are certainly good but who cannot recreate the special vibe of an era long gone. Old footage should have been used instead.

Jakob Dylan (yes, the son of THAT Dylan) is an executive producer on this film. He is also the main interviewer – fair enough. He is also the main performer in the modernized versions of the older songs – not good. So, instead of a 1960s vibe/attitude of peace, love, and good times, the viewer is forced to endure a 1990s vibe/attitude of marketing, marketing, and more manipulative marketing. How disappointing. – dbamateurcritic
