Album of the Day

For Girls Who Grow Plump In the Night, by Caravan (1973): This is one of those "one disc wonders" I have - where I have only one album from a band that I like quite a bit, but I never seem to get around to getting more of their stuff. Caravan was part of the Canterbury prog scene, although the jazz influences are less pronounced. There's lots of good viola on this album, which makes it stand out a bit from that crowd. Besides, how can you not love an album with titles like "C'thlu Thlu," "The Dog, The Dog, He’s At It Again," and "Derek's Long Thing" (a bonus previously unreleased track).
