If you were astride a mighty camel while fearlessly navigating the wind-swept sands of the Sahara, good old-fashioned rock and roll would be just about the last commodity you would expect to encounter. Yet such fantastic scenarios inspired a slew of songs set to exotically rocking rhythms, their unusual narratives constructed around sheiks, harems, oases, King Tut and Ali Baba, and far-off locales like Bagdad and Istanbul. Those happen to be the very subjects dominating Bear Family's 'Destination Desert - 33 Oriental Rock 'n' Roll Treasures.' Some very unexpected names turn up on this anthology that you'd never expect to see searing their feet in such scorching, sun-strewn climes: rockabilly guitar ace Jerry Reed, for example, or sax wailer Preston Love, or New Orleans piano pounder Art Neville. Glamorous R\u0026amp;B chanteuses Dinah Washington and Big Maybelle seem highly unlikely candidates to hop aboard a dromedary, but they're here as well. The Fendermen, The Polk Brothers, and Bobby Christian offer contrasting treatments of Duke Ellington's immortal Caravan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerry Reed - Rockin' In Bagdad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Champs - Ali Baba (2 rmst.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Polk Brothers - Caravan Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ramrocks - Pasha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Silver-Tones - Arabian Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eddie 'The Sheik' Kochak - Shish Ka Bob Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Majestics - Oasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big Maybelle - That's A Pretty Good Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jack Hammer - Ali Ben Ghazi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Latins - Habibi Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Slaves - Hari's Harem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Saxons - Camel Walk -part I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jo Ann Campbell - Ahab The Arab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preston Love - Ali Baba's Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Colts - Sheik Of Araby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dinah Washington - One Arabian Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Fendermen - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ferlin Husky - Aladdin's Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leroy Holmes - In A Persian Market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bill Haley and His Comets - Oriental Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bobby Freeman - Sinbad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Teentones - Sands Of Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ganimian and His Orientals - Come With Me To The Casbah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dave ; The Customs - Ali Baba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Art Neville - Arabian Love Call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Socialties - King Tut Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Big Sound Of Don Ralke - Zooba!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Billy Grammer - Princess Of Persia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Johnny and The Hurricanes - Sheba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kent Westberry - Turkish Doghouse Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Renegades - Istanbul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sandpipers - Ali Baba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bobby Christian - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522057441554,"sku":"4000127177315","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-destination-desert-33-oriental-rock-n-roll-treasures-various-artists-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
