It goes into the personalities of important performers and writers of this genre. Including how fame and fortune compromised many of the stars. Well written and easy to read. I read it in a couple of days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars After the Gold Rush, Before the Deluge! *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2014* After the gold rush, before the deluge ...Hotel California documents the cultural shifts in the music business from the time when the New York City folk scene of the early sixties moved west to the dominance of arena rock in the late seventies. The migration from the early singer-songwriters to the mega-groups is a fascinating and wide-ranging story that is well told in this book.Hotel California the book, like the song by The Eagles, one of the groups in the story, is also a story of loss of innocence as the tumultuous sixties morph into the self-absorbed seventies. This is the saga behind the music that is still playing today.It's always risky to read about one's musical heroes as their personal stories are rarely as sweet and innocent as the art they created. I appreciated all the behind the scenes peeks at bands like Little Feat and artists like Randy Newman who don't often get top billing in discussions about this era. I exit this book still loving Joni Mitchell and my crush on Linda Ronstadt is intact, but the trajectories of CSNY and The Eagles read like a cautionary tale of how intense, and ego-driven, and drug-fueled the music business became.Behind the success and excess were some very savvy and often cutthroat agents and promoters who recognized and helped realize the potential to re-invent the music business. Mansions and swimming pools for the artists, even deeper profit pools for the record companies.Hotel California is well-written, fast paced and extensively researched. Barney Hoskyns is a seasoned rock journalist who has impeccable credentials to observe and document the California music scene.I enjoyed this book on many levels and recommend it to music fans, students of cultural history, and anyone interested in the business behind the soundtrack of the last fifty years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars a sleeper *by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2010* When I first started this book it smacked of name dropping, boring and confusing details that seemed disoriented, and I almost packed it up. Problem was-- I was expecting the wrong thing. As I went further I realized that along with the included artists was a fundamental background of the industry itself-- which subsequently became an integral part of the story. The book expertly details relationships of artist to artist---- artist to record company-- and all the chess games that were played to put certain people into certain places--- and also why certain people did not get to certain places. A lot of corporate web-spinning but intriguing none-the less. It also covers the change of musical direction/development morphing from the late 60's to the mid 70's. A nice offering. Believable, interesting, and comfortable. Primarily for people that went through it or are interested in what it was all about. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/7754453-hotel-california-the-true-life-adventures-of-crosby-stills-nash](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/7754453-hotel-california-the-true-life-adventures-of-crosby-stills-nash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
