CARAVAN
Caravan were one of the more formidable progressive rock acts to come out of England in the 1960s. They made a lot of noise in the English rock press, and their following has been sufficiently loyal and wide to keep their work in print including extensive re-issues of their back catalogue by Derem Decca.Caravan was an up-and-coming success on the college concert circuit, even making an appearance on British television's Top of the Pops. With national exposure and a growing audience, the group rose to the occasion with their second Decca LP, In the Land of Grey and Pink, which showed off a keen melodic sense, a subtly droll wit, and a seductively smooth mix of hard rock, folk, classical, and jazz, intermingled with elements of Tolkien-esque fantasy. The songs ranged from light, easy-to-absorb pieces such as "Golf Girl" to the quietly majestic "Nine Feet Underground," a 23-minute suite.One of the hardest-rocking yet musically daring extended pieces to come out of the early progressive rock era, "Nine Feet Underground" was a dazzling showcase for Pye Hastings' searing lead guitar and Dave Sinclair's soaring organ and piano work.
