Episode 28: Songs From the Fault Line

Rock N Roll Archaeology explores the 1970s LA Sound, a world of sun-drenched harmonies and seismic ambition. From a bizarre funeral pact for Gram Parsons at the Troubadour to the rise of the Eagles from Linda Ronstadt's backing band, this is the story of how a community of folk idealists, including Jackson Browne, gave birth to a billion-dollar industry. We chart the collision course between artistic collaboration and corporate rock, right on the fault line.
