4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Release by Caravan.
1976, "Blind Dog At St. Dunstans'", The Band consisted of: Richard Coughlan:drums, Mike Wedgwood: bass and vocals, Pye Hastings: guitars,Geoffrey Richardson: guitar, flute,viola, and Jan Schelhaas: keyboards,organ and mini-moog.This is a fine release by Caravan. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's not lousy as some critics have told you to believe either.Strong tracks in, "Here Am I". "Chiefs and Indians", "A Smelly Grubby Little Oik", "Jack and Jill" and "All the Way:"A nice release in the Caravan catalog.
5.0 out of 5 stars What's going on?
There are 2 albums by Caravan that i've delayed listening to because of the bad reviews i've read. One is thevery good (and now quite hard to find at a reasonable price) 'Back to the front' (with Richard Sinclair and Mel Collins in the band!), and this one. This is a TREMENDOUS album, filled to the brim with great melodic ideas, great performance from all, good recording and that 'canterbury' flavor to remind you of their roots. I've been humming these tunes for days now. Can't get them out of my head. Just because music does not have a million changes or is played in 6/13 time, it does not mean is not progressive. I consider most of the latest stuff by bands like the Beatles or early 10cc, progressive. And this certainly is too. Just not the kind of 'prog' that focuses on 'flash' and more on careful, melodic/harmonic composition. Recommended to the Caravan fans, and anyone interested in Brit Rock musical excellence.
5.0 out of 5 stars What does the title mean?
Just a quick note for those not familiar. The title is a local Canterbury colloquium to describe fornicationg dogs. The dog in front and the one behind is pushing her to St Dunstans (the local school for the blind).
3.0 out of 5 stars John Wayne Saves The Day
I have a soft spot for Caravan and I like this album more than most progressive rock fans. It is mid seventies classic rock with a touch that only Pye Hastings could give to it. There are two real bad cuts, two pretty decent ones and two Caravan classics (Grubby Little Oik set and All The Way)."Here Am I": Nice rock song, good guitar parts and viola with good keyboards. 4 star song."Chiefs and Indians": Not a good song at all and the reason why most prog heads don't like it: skip"A Very Smelly, Grubby Little Oik"/"Bobbing Wide"/"Come on Back"/"Oik(reprise)": A Caravan classic and a 5 star tune by any measure."Jack and Jill": This would start side two of the album, and well I've heard better. Sorry, Pie but: Skip"Can You Hear Me": Like a lot of other Pye Hastings numbers, I like it. 4 stars"All The Way (with John Wayne's Liberation of Paris)": Classic Prog Rock tune and one of Caravans best. 5 starsSummary: John Wayne saves the day. The last song is the best and a reason to have this CD. If you have the grubby little Oik and John Wayne on some compilation then you won't need this. 3 stars with 2 truly horrible cuts. This is the best and worst of Caravan.
5.0 out of 5 stars The snobby critics disliked this album, but that is their loss...
I have loved Caravan since the 1960s, and I especially love their earlier albums (except Waterloo Lily, which somewhat bores me). Nonetheless, I find Blind Dog, while not the same as their earlier efforts, to be just as good. If you are a hardcore "prog rock" (whatever that means) fan, this might not satisfy you, but if you can stretch out to accept the fuller genre of progressive rock, this album will transport you with the usual mix of Caravan's instrumental brilliance and their very clever and omnipresent wit. The songs here oscillate between the ethereal and a more driving style, but that makes for a satisfying combination.The criticism that this is a pop album is unfair; it does have a slightly more "poppish" flavor to it, but that shouldn't turn any one away from the overall excellence of the album. Jan Schelhaas is a good match for the band, and he plays very well. Jimmy Hastings' clarinet & flute work on the "Oik/Come On Back" conglomeration is outstanding as well. I don't have a single problem with this effort; indeed, it has become one of my favorites of theirs, and I am a hardcore progressive fan!
4.0 out of 5 stars visually handicapped canine at st. dunstans
Similar in some ways to cunning stunts although it was not too popular. I liked it for its melody lines & jazz rock "fusiony" feel. I would have liked some longer cuts like their earlier albums, but they were trying to get noticed & needed shorter songs I have to presume.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great album!!!
This is the very first album I have ever heard from Caravan, and I really liked him! From first tune to the end it sounds great even without Sinclairs! You can find anything here - from fusion to hard rock. For every Camel fans is also gret album.

名盤です
かつて、アナログ盤の時代にでラム時代の物はよく再発売されていたが、このアルバムは移籍後のもので、中古レコード店を何軒も探しまわって、高価な値段で手に入れた記憶がある。今回CD化されていたので迷わず購入。本作はCaravanらしいブリティシュポップが心地よく、個人って気には彼らのアルバムの中でも好きなアルバムです。前期の様なプログレ的な要素は少ないですがジェフのヴィオラが効果的に使われていて、とても心地良いアルバムになっております。Caravanファン必聴の一枚と言ってもいいと思いまうす。
