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 \u003ci\u003eDestination Desert – 33 Oriental Rock n Roll Treasures\u003c\/i\u003e. 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;amp;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, while Ganimian and His Orientals extend the irresistible invitation Come With Me To The Casbah and Kent Westberry demonstrates how to do the Turkish Doghouse Rock. By the time you complete this sweat-soaked journey in the good company of Ahab The Arab, Sinbad, and Ali Ben Ghazi, you’ll be ready for a blast of air conditioning and an ice-cold libation! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e CD: Jerry Reed: Rockin' In Bagdad \/ The Champs: Ali Baba (2 rmst.) \/ The Polk Brothers: Caravan Rock \/ The Ramrocks: Pasha \/ The Silver-Tones: Arabian Rock \/ Eddie The Sheik Kochak: Shish Ka Bob Rock \/ The Majestics: Oasis \/ Big Maybelle: That's A Pretty Good Love \/ Jack Hammer: Ali Ben Ghazi \/ The Latins: Habibi Twist \/ The Slaves: Hari's Harem \/ The Saxons: Camel Walk -part I \/ Jo Ann Campbell: Ahab The Arab \/ Preston Love: Ali Baba's Boogie \/ The Colts: Sheik Of Araby \/ Dinah Washington: One Arabian Night \/ The Fendermen: Caravan \/ Ferlin Husky: Aladdin's Lamp \/ Leroy Holmes: In A Persian Market \/ Bill Haley and His Comets: Oriental Rock Bobby Freeman: Sinbad \/ The Teentones: Sands Of Arabia \/ Ganimian and His Orientals: Come With Me To The Casbah \/ Dave \u0026amp; The Customs: Ali Baba \/ Art Neville: Arabian Love Call \/ The Socialties: King Tut Rock \/ The Big Sound Of Don Ralke: Zooba! \/ Billy Grammer: Princess Of Persia \/ Johnny and The Hurricanes: Sheba \/ Kent Westberry: Turkish Doghouse Rock \/ The Renegades: Istanbul \/ The Sandpipers: Ali Baba \/ Bobby Christian: Caravan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Family","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50406901907787,"sku":"2046100","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4000127177315_542f74b1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726592129","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/destination-desert-33-oriental-rock-n-roll-treasures","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
