Caravan

Caravan, a prominent progressive rock band from England in the 1960s, primarily remained a cult favorite with a loyal following that sustained their music through various reissues over the decades. Formed from the remnants of the Wilde Flowers, Caravan initially struggled before finding success with their debut album and subsequent releases that showcased their unique blend of jazz, psychedelia, and progressive rock. Despite facing challenges and lineup changes, Caravan managed to achieve recognition with critically acclaimed albums, notable live performances, and a brief chart success in the early 1970s, before eventually disbanding in the early '80s.

After a brief hiatus, the original members of Caravan reunited in 1990 for a successful concert that reignited their career and led to new recordings and expanded reissues of their classic albums. The band continued to perform into the new millennium, with a changing lineup and sporadic releases, maintaining their legacy as pioneers of progressive rock with a dedicated fan base. Despite facing setbacks and the loss of drummer Richard Coughlan in 2013, Caravan's music remains influential and accessible through reissues and live performances that honor their enduring contribution to the genre.
