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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Jerry Reed - Rockin' In Bagdad \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Champs - Ali Baba (2 rmst.) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Polk Brothers - Caravan Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Ramrocks - Pasha \u003cbr\u003e1.5 The Silver-Tones - Arabian Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Eddie 'The Sheik' Kochak - Shish Ka Bob Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Majestics - Oasis \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Big Maybelle - That's A Pretty Good Love \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Jack Hammer - Ali Ben Ghazi \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Latins - Habibi Twist \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Slaves - Hari's Harem \u003cbr\u003e1.12 The Saxons - Camel Walk -part I \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Jo Ann Campbell - Ahab The Arab \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Preston Love - Ali Baba's Boogie \u003cbr\u003e1.15 The Colts - Sheik Of Araby \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Dinah Washington - One Arabian Night \u003cbr\u003e1.17 The Fendermen - Caravan \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Ferlin Husky - Aladdin's Lamp \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Leroy Holmes - In A Persian Market \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Bill Haley and His Comets - Oriental Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Bobby Freeman - Sinbad \u003cbr\u003e1.22 The Teentones - Sands Of Arabia \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Ganimian and His Orientals - Come With Me To The Casbah \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Dave ; The Customs - Ali Baba \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Art Neville - Arabian Love Call \u003cbr\u003e1.26 The Socialties - King Tut Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.27 The Big Sound Of Don Ralke - Zooba! \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Billy Grammer - Princess Of Persia \u003cbr\u003e1.29 Johnny and The Hurricanes - Sheba \u003cbr\u003e1.30 Kent Westberry - Turkish Doghouse Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.31 The Renegades - Istanbul \u003cbr\u003e1.32 The Sandpipers - Ali Baba \u003cbr\u003e1.33 Bobby Christian - Caravan\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40161904853063,"sku":"43656158","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4233330-3019380.jpg?v=1711805778","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/destination-desert-33-oriental-various-destination-desert-33-oriental-rock-n-roll-treasures-various-artists","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
