IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

Here Caravan open from the Show of our Lives to Blind Dog. A Story begins.

"He was tied up with a nun" /great naughty lyrics ! The fun side of Caravan even in later years

A nice opening track from a story evolving into a nice solo led part. I never like faded ends to a song so that took a few point off.

Second track, Wishing You Were Here.

Caravan never really got far into popularity at all in the USA, and this song maybe some kind of frustration or wonder why not! Let's head west. California can seem to help here. Wishing you were Here. Its not Pink Floyd.

WAIT! The song progresses into the best part , no longer self obsessed, just playing music and the keyboards are juicy here, but left us with ... what.. don't stop here :(

Third track (and album title). None of Your Business. A look back to the early days and Who Do you Think You Are vibe. It gets it here and actually after 2 or 3 listens i get how close it was to those early days. The best part of this song is the freedom it presents half way through. it hints so slightly it can break free and combined elevator music and stuttered violins, and keyboards with a cool baseline leading into a lovely meal of all sorts of festive food and living the beach life on some Caribbean island.

Ready or Not. For me the best track of this album. The paranoid but partly just being cheeky perhaps, or perhaps not. A little bitter, or just plain childish. Enjoyable for those reasons alone and of of course the catch line... Ready or not.. we're gonna get you!.

I love the island cool vibe between the cold lyrics. A feel of steel drums. For those in England in the 70s if you remember a tv show called "Rent a Ghost" you may know what i mean.

Spare a Thought. What a nice flute and acoustic guitar. For me it was a universal song for the ones they lost as a band or friends and also through the covid or just being old and time left us all in the lurch. A good tribute or land lubber shanty.

Every Precious Little Thing

Again we still dealing with the past 2 years. Touring, playing, being with your friends. But things change. "Smallest Things that mean the most .. count the fingers on your hand". True friends are hard to come by. As you get older you value the friendships and love and some of course can be lost.

If I Was to Fly

This surely is a dream, and pretty high, however i doubt they were anyway near as high as 1969. Its again lookng back wishing you were high, knowing that the highest you can get these days it reminiscing and dreaming of the time you once had and wish you had now.

I'll Reach Out For You

Nice guitar intro. Where we going? good strumming. Let's listen to the lyrics.

You don't wanna spend your life like a shadow Living in and out of your dreams Gotta find a way, way out of there

The romance of love or lost love. Appreciating those who love you or could have loved you. The album is a little cold generally, maybe the times we living in maybe these days. Not sure, At this point i wondered what the album was about.

There is You.

At last we have a jazzy laid back dreamy song where wee can get into what the whole purpose of the album was about. Again, a look back to the past, and what love means in its many capacities. The album is delicate with its walls and pretend songs. That for me is what I liked about it. After what 60 years no less, we stil wonder about the delicacy of emotion and connection to others.

Luna's Tune

Caravan always leave us with questions. Second best song of the album for of course the violin/keyboard and composition and atmosphere. Time for reflection.

Bravo! Good to Excellent 3-4 Stars.
