Songs About Caravans

There's been a lot of talk about caravans of late. Who knows why? Anyway, since I am nothing if not topical, when I feel like it, that is, there's this set of Songs About Caravans. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Duke Ellington  ~  “Caravan”  (This is the original version of what has become a jazz standard. In this post, you’ll also hear a surf rock and a rockabilly version of the same tune. I challenge you to identify which ones they are, as both cover versions are so unique in their own right as to merit inclusion herein.)
