Silver Melodies!.......2005-02-20

I waited for YEARS for this album to be released on CD! Though there isn't a "hit" in the mix, this has been #1 on my all-time favorite album list since the vinyl was first released (dating myself!). Without the pressure of cranking out chart-worthy singles (my guess is that this record was a contractual obligation to the record label), the simplicity and purity of the music on this album is what grabbed me. "Along The Way" is simply one of the most beautiful, haunting songs you will ever hear. The mental images ("...gold, and the olive and the cinnamon brown...") of "Silver Morning" painted a very idealistic image of L.A., but are powerful nonetheless. "That's Racin'" is a total hoot, even if you're not into NASCAR! The tribute to P.F. Sloan is vocal harmony at its best, and by itself is worth the price of admission! As I said, this is my favorite album of all time, and I've been listening to music and fantastic artists for over 50 years. If you haven't heard this album, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. You won't be disappointed!

Still Racin'!.......2004-05-24

By the time 1971 came around, The Association weren't having hits or selling very much records anymore, and key member Russ Giguere had recently departed, being replaced by Richard Thompson. But "Stop Your Motor," while not being the band's masterpiece, still showed that the band were still making great music together. "Bring Yourself Home," "Funny Kind Of Song," "Along The Way," and the band's improved re-recording of "It's Gotta Be Real" (originally from the film "Goodbye Columbus") are all classic Association tunes, and Terry Kirkman's "That's Racin'," a tongue-in-cheek country-western tale of auto racing, is a fun novelty song. After "Stop Your Motor," The Association had only one more album left to do (1972's "Waterbeds In Trinidad"), but musically, they were still racin'. :-)

The album that wasn't necessary.......2000-11-24

This album, the last of the group for Warner Bros., was an effort that lacked the voice of Russ Giguere, who had left the group in 1970. The album featured Richard Thompson as Giguere's replacement, and the entire project suffered from spotty song writing and musical arrangements that lacked focus and direction. The best songs on this album are Ted Bluechel's "Bring Yourself Home" and a song penned by Jimmy Webb entitled "P.F. Sloane" that enjoyed some air play on local radio markets in the Midwest. Otherwise, the album is pretty mediocre, with the songs written by Terry Kirkman, the groups best writer of song hits, being particular disappointments on this album.
