Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone Music Now. I'm in the studio with

Andy Slater and Jacob Dylan. They are here to talk about a really cool in the documentary that

enjoyed a lot called Echo in the Canyon. It's about the Laurel Canyon scene of

the 60s. It also includes the making of a bunch of covers of the Laurel County music that Jacob did with a truly all-star crew,

ranging from Eric Clapton and Stephen Stills to Fiona Apple and Beck.

Just seeing you guys do the music are some of the best parts of the

documentary but then there's interviews with everyone from David Crosby to

Ringo Starr to Roger McGuin who seemed to be one of the most fruitful interviews

and he's such a cool humble dude.

In general, before we get to some of the individual interviews,

I mean, Jacob, you were saying you never really done an interview before

and here you are with some of the greatest musicians of an era,

but you seem pretty comfortable with it.

I think you just talked to the musician to musician, really. I think so. Yeah, I hadn't really had any experience doing that, but I have a lot of experience talking to people. Though I think that was the beginning point and you're just trying to find a space for these people, create a space where they can be comfortable and talk about whatever they recall or whatever they want to discuss about that specific time in their lives.

But really, I give you a recommendation. If you do get a chance to interview you know someone like

Brian Wilson all you really do have to do is just stay out of the way that's right you

know create a situation where they feel like they can talk about whatever's on

their mind and then just kind of shut up totally And the impetus for this movie kind of came from the album.

Was that what happened or was it all one idea?

How did that come about it?

Andy, you're the director.

Well, I think it started with where we were in our lives at that time.
