Have you seen a dcumentary called 'Hotel California: LA From the Byrds to the Eagles? It's a BBC one and I'm sure it will be on youtube. It talks about how The Byrds arguably began the country/folk/rick thing and then how it was knd of killed by the Eagles stadium success 10 years later. There are great old and new interviews and performances by with, among others.... JD Souther, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, David Crosby, Linda Ronstadt, Bernie Leadon, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Waddy Wachtel....and on and on it goes...

Hell, yes! I must have seen that documentary about 10 times, I love it! One of my favourite parts is David Crosby dissing The Eagles. Have you read the book by Barney Hoskyns it's based on? If you haven't you must, it's absolutely fantastic and it introduced me to so many forgotten bands from that scene that I now love.
