The mythical sound of Laurel Canyon and the singer/songwriter era of the early to mid-70s has filtered through all manner of 21st North American music, whether that’s the CSN affectations of Fleet Foxes, Jonathan Wilson’s collaboration with David Crosby, or the celebrated Lana Del Raye, Weyes Blood and Clairo. Americana stalwarts Dawes and Blitzen Trapper offer harmonies and roots while the wondrous sounds of Haylie Davis and Alex Amen recast the past for today. All 46 tracks are an antidote to the toxic world of 2026. Enjoy.
