Watched Echo in the Canyon on Netflix last night, the Jacob Dylan produced oDE to the mid-60s California sound, as elDEr hippies of yore (CS&N, Jackson Browne etc.) wax nostalgic about what a groovy time it was, and as the younger generation (Beck, Cat Power) look at amazement at old vinyl LPs as though finding ancient relics. Plays a bit like The Rutles ‘Can’t Buy Me Lunch’ at times, and the young Dylan, while earnest and pleasant enough, starts to bore after a bit as while he has his legendary father’s good looks, he pretty much lacks any of his elDEr’s edge. Still, it’s well worth a watch. And I maybe am not gonna run out and buy any Byrds albums as a result, but the one group I am now revisiting is The Mamas and the Papas. Wow - you forget how gorgeous their harmonies were. ‘All the leaves are brown, and the skies are grey...’.
All of which leads me to the Stones. I didn’t realize that Papa John Phillips recorDEd an album that only somewhat recently got a release - Pack Pay And Follow, with Keith, Mick and Ronnie making contributions (during a very druggie period). Anyone have it/heard it? Be interested to hear any thought on the album (& the Film).

IMO the "Pay Pack.." album is definitely worth searching for. It is very Stonesy, has Keith, Jagger, Ron, Taylor, and I think even Charlie on several tracks. "Pussycat" is the homogenized version, track and mix-wise. PP&F is much better. But judging by the accounts, and especially the photos those sessions seemed to have been very saturated by narcotics. There aren't too many pics of Keith that really show the un-glamorous, dirty side of H addiction. Those photos do.
I also saw the Laurel Canyon flic. I liked Jakob a lot; has a lot of style. And ended up liking Regina and the other girl singer a lot too. Beck looks so funny in those passages on the couch. The expression "a broom up his butt' came to mind. While I wish there had been more vintage footage; who wants to see 70 year olds drone on and on about hippie days? - I know the film was not about that. It must have been a glorious time to be alive and a musician.

No CR, there seemed to be two singers who were kind of with Jakob in the core of things: Regina Spektor, well known artists in her own right, and the other singer, who usually smiled while singing, and wore mini skirts.
Yes, Fiona is always great, but I think she was acting a bit during her performance.
