Troubadours – Peaceful Easy Feeling

Episode 3 of 10

Performances from Crosby and Nash, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and other acts that epitomised the California scene of the early 1970s.

In the early 70s as the UK got to grips with the new coinage and decimalisation and braced itself for strike after strike, a group of young troubadours were hanging out in Laurel Canyon and the environs of California USA having a ball and creating music that would define a generation. It's time to kick back and relax and enjoy performances from Crosby and Nash, Neil Young, America, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Carole King, The Eagles, and Seals and Crofts.
