The album takes its title from Laurel Canyon, a hub of Los Angeles music culture in the '60s, where Mitchell was living while she wrote it, in the Lookout Mountain Avenue house Graham Nash wrote "Our House" about. "Conversation" shares the record with some of her most celebrated songs, "Big Yellow Taxi", "Woodstock" and "The Circle Game" among them.
