"The
Association" – одна из наиболее недооцененных групп родом из 60-х годов.
Свой самый продуктивный период коллектив пережил с 1966 по 1969 годы, когда на
свет появились его самые значительные хиты "Along comes Mary",
"Cherish", "Windy" и "Never my love". А началось
все в 1964-м, когда на основе общего интереса к ритм-энд-блюзу сошлись
мульти-инструменталист из Канзаса Терри Киркман и гитарный виртуоз из Теннеси
Джулес Александр. На следующий год они основали амбициозный проект из 13
человек "The men", исполнявший помесь фолка, джаза и рока.
Ансамбль
просуществовал всего несколько недель, по прошествии которых в его составе
осталось только шесть человек, которые сменили вывеску на "Association".
Кроме Киркмана и Александра в "Ассоциацию" вошли Тед Блючел младший
(ударные), Брайан Коул (бас), Расс Джигур (перкуссия) и Джим Йестер (гитара).
Самым интересным моментом было то, что все участники ансамбля пели. Через
полгода репетиций группа начала наконец-то появляться на публике. В 1965-м был
издан сингл "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", но ни он, ни последующий
кавер дилановской "One Too Many Mornings" успеха не имели.
Положение
было исправлено с выходом синглов "Along Comes Mary" (№ 7) и
"Cherish" (№ 1). Запись этих композиций производилась следующим
образом: все вокальные партии писались в одной студии, а затем в другой Киркман
и Александр с помощью сессионщиков накладывали на них инструментальные треки.
Таким же макаром был создан и дебютный альбом "Ассоциации". Лейбл,
увидев коммерческий успех группы, заставил музыкантов поторопиться с очередными
работами. Однако спешка не привела к желаемым результатам: сингл
"Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies" добрался в чартах только до 35-й
позиции, а "No Fair At All" вообще провалился. Как часто бывает в
подобных случаях, начались персональные проблемы, следствием которых стал уход
Александра.
Чтобы
восполнить потерю в "Association" был приглашен Ларри Рамос из
"New Christy Minstrels". Его приход совпал с успехом сингла группы с
композицией Рутанна Фридмана "Windy", возглавившей чарты. Довольно
удачным получился и третий альбом, "Inside out", начатый с продюсером
Джерри Йестером и законченный с Боунсом Хоу. На диске удачно сочетались
попсовые, фолковые и хард-роковые элементы. Накануне выхода пластинки команда
отыграла свой самый значительный концерт на открытии "Monterey
International Pop Festival".
На
своем четвертом альбоме, "Birthday", в отличие от предыдущих релизов
"Ассоциация" утяжелила свой саунд, но такое решение оказалось
запоздалым и пластинка особого успеха не имела. Не спасло ситуацию издание
лейблом "Gratest hits" и возвращение блудного Александра. К 1970 году
все хиты, выданные "The Association", остались в прошлом. Последним
релизом на "Warner Bros" стал альбом "Stop Your Motor",
достигший лишь 158-й позиции в чартах. Группу подобрала "Columbia
Records", но вышедший на ней "Waterbeds in Trinidad" вообще
оказался в самом конце второй сотни.
Последней
каплей в серии неудач стала смерть Брайана Коула, скончавшегося 2 августа 1973
года из-за передозировки наркотиков. Киркман тогда решил завязать с музыкальным
бизнесом, Александр организовал проект "Bijou", а Блючел, Йестер и
Рамос попытались продолжить деятельность с помощью других музыкантов. На
протяжении последующих 30 лет "Association" в различных конфигурациях
появлялись и исчезали, но никакого успеха, сравнимого с "золотым"
периодом 60-х, уже не имели.
