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