Hotel California: Cantautores y vaqueros cocainómanos en Laurel Canyon, 1967-1976

The book weaves together so many personal and musical histories—I'm curious what drew Hoskyns to tell this collective story instead of individual biographies.

The way the stories unfold made me feel like I was right there in the moment, but I wonder if that sense of authenticity resonates with others who lived through that era.

Given the wealth of material on this musical period, it’s interesting to think about what guided the selection process and what was prioritized for storytelling.
