CARAVAN

Solid debut from the classic band Caravan. An early release for progressive rock, hailing from nineteen sixty eight that still should be here because of its content (released today it would probably be accepted under crossover)

Anyways I review based on the content of an album rather then by historical significance, so yeah. Most of the music is quirky psychedelic pop of the late sixties, with some exceptions (always thought the Canterbury Scene was Psychedelic pop + Jazz and or Avant Classical, rather than just Psychedelic Rock + Jazz). The notable song for fans of the archives is without a doubt the three part epic in classic Caravan form, replete with great singing and organ soloes. Another song worth mentioning that I enjoy is Love Song With flute. The chord progression on this one is just lovely as is the singing and in lieu of a third verse there is two take flute solo by Jimmy Hastings, awesome caravan short song, as good as their best. Other then that the songs are pretty much Caravans less good pop songs.
