ECHO IN THE CANYON

12 FILM OUT NOW DIGITAL HD

The mid-’60s Laurel Canyon scene’s hybrid of folk/rock shines on in director Andrew Slater’s romanticised but stirring, star-stuffed fusion of history and concert movie. While Jakob Dylan’s interviews with vets including David Crosby, Jackson Browne and Michelle Phillips (plus fan Tom Petty) prove amiably illuminating, footage from an all-star 2015 covers concert shows the California sound echoing down the years. Beck, Cat Power, Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple front a tribute that – like the film – glows with nostalgia. Kevin Harley
