Fine book. John H. Chaffer Fine bookwish just a little more detail and back story had been done on Linda Ronstadt and her several backing bands.One of the great pointers of country rock that she worked with wax the band " Swampwater"look it up on WikipediaAnd my understanding the mighty Clarence White the awesome guitarist was killed by a drunk women driver not a truckNo big deal!on this but I like all the story and correct facts.. Not for me. I was disappointed. The writing was choppy and there were time when the commentary bounced back and forth in time. It felt like the author was just taking his story from notes in a pile with little organization. The ending was abrupt. No pictures of the artists in time or mentioned. I ended up doing my own research on artists alive or gone to be able to hang this book together.. A messed of generation that produced the best in music I knew all these people were messed up, but I love the music and since I enjoyed the liner notes on the double album of the Eagles greatest hits three or so years back, I thought I'd give it a try. It isn't quite the cheery same. How anyone in music made it out of that era alive, is a flat out miracle. I'm not disillusioned, but wow.I'll never be able to listen to certain songs without ugly visions in my mind of why/how it was written. Ugly stuff.

From Publishers Weekly As musical scenes go, it would be hard to come up with a less dramatic one than that of the singer/songwriters who dominated Southern California from the mid-1960s through the mid-'70s. Jumping right in with little introduction, Hoskyns relays the particulars of the burgeoning scene that drew sensitive musicians west from Greenwich Village, limning the differences between those who lived in Topanga and Laurel Canyons and detailing the explosive shocks to their insular world (like the Monterey Pop festival and the Manson murders), all leading up to the cash-register mentality that formed the Eagles. The cast is robus
This is a riveting story, sensitively told.—Anthony DeCurtis, Contributing Editor, Rolling StoneFrom enduring musical achievements to drug-fueled chaos and bed-hopping antics, the L.A. music scene; and more.. Hoskyns brings a genuine love as well as an outsider's keen eye to the rise and fall of the California scene. Hotel California brings to life the genesis of Crosby, Stills, and Nash at Joni Mitchell’s house; the Eagles’ backstage fistfights after the success of ""Hotel California""; the drama of David Geffen and the other money men who transformed the L.A. pop music scene in the sixties and seventies was like no other, and journalist Barney Hoskyns re-creates all the excitement and mayhem
