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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" width=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerry Reed - Rockin' In Bagdad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Champs - Ali Baba (2 rmst.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Polk Brothers - Caravan Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ramrocks - Pasha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Silver-Tones - Arabian Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEddie 'The Sheik' Kochak - Shish Ka Bob Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Majestics - Oasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Maybelle - That's A Pretty Good Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Hammer - Ali Ben Ghazi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Latins - Habibi Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Slaves - Hari's Harem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Saxons - Camel Walk -part I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJo Ann Campbell - Ahab The Arab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreston Love - Ali Baba's Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Colts - Sheik Of Araby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinah Washington - One Arabian Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fendermen - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFerlin Husky - Aladdin's Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeroy Holmes - In A Persian Market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Haley and His Comets - Oriental Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Freeman - Sinbad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Teentones - Sands Of Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGanimian and His Orientals - Come With Me To The Casbah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDave \u0026amp; The Customs - Ali Baba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt Neville - Arabian Love Call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Socialties - King Tut Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Big Sound Of Don Ralke - Zooba!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly Grammer - Princess Of Persia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny and The Hurricanes - Sheba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKent Westberry - Turkish Doghouse Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Renegades - Istanbul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sandpipers - Ali Baba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Christian - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831097069768,"sku":"BCD17731","price":15.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/destinationdesertcd.jpg?v=1690149349","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/destination-desert-33-oriental-rock-n-roll-treasures-cd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
