Caravan Do It All Over Again
uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, October 1970

Clever, uninvolved, and promising, it really looked at though music was coming back. The LP attracted a good deal of attention and nice reviews, and when Caravan played the Albert Hall with Richie Havens, aside of a few rough edges, they really came across.
