  • Description

    When The Associations Windy, reached the #1 position in July 1967, writer Ruthann Friedman didnt just score a hit single, she also achieved a milestone: Ruthann was only the third female songwriter to compose an American #1 record without the help of a co-writer. In 1999, BMIdesignated the infectious smash the 61st most played song of the 20th century. But the story doesnt end there.

    Produced in 1969 by JOE WISSERT (The Turtles, Lovin Spoonful, Jackie DeShannon) Constant Companion is Ruthanns only LP during the first chapter of her career. An intimate folk album replete with lysergic lyrical imagery, Constant Companion will intrigue fans of Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill.

    Also included is a full albums worth of previously-unreleased material cut during the Constant Companion era, which will undoubtedly leave the listener wondering why these tracks were hidden away all these years.
