Comment:

Reviewers often get The Association completely wrong. It’s been said they were "Never known as an album band." Untrue. The Association was so well-respected as an album band that the songwriter/producer Jimmy Webb approached them with the song cycle that later became Richard Harriss mega-hit album A Tramp Shining. Their first six albums are filled with superb songs, some released as singles, others not. Some have been critical of the Renaissance album, but while it did not produce a radio hit, it is a consistent album with not one clunker to be found. Reviewers have tried to peg The Association as bubble-gum, but there is a reason they were chosen to play at the Monterey Pop Music Festival with Hendrix, The Who, and Joplin. The Association wrote and performed songs that epitomized the philosophical side of the 60s, poetic and thoughtful. They often celebrated values that defined the era: tribute to grass “Along Comes Mary,” Dylan’s “One Too Many Mornings,” the sexual “Goodbye Forever,” a tribute to counter-culture “Time for Livin’,” a tribute to free spirits “Windy,” and the anthem for youth “Enter the Young.” The Association bridged counter-culture music and pop and were not alone in this: remember the later Beach Boys, Johnny Rivers’ Realization, & The Rascals’ Once Upon a Dream. What distinguished The Association was their success, never more obvious than on their Live album. That album has been often maligned unjustly by reviewers. In the end, its wrong to try to pideonhole The Association. They were a rock group that also sang harmonies. Their songs were often as lyrical as Simon and Garfunkel’s. And their guitar work was often as good as any 60’s band.
