The Dell Trio

Artist: The Dell Trio
LP: The Dell Trio Presents [10" EP]
Song: "Caravan"
[ listen ]

This might be the best rendition of "Caravan" I've heard yet—and I've heard a few! The Dell Trio whips up some real swingin' sounds with just an organ, an accordion and a guitar. According to my sources, the fellow pictured in the upper left on the cover of this 1951 Columbia 10" EP grew up in a cornfield somewhere in western Illinois...so I guess you could say there's a farmer in The Dell... trio.
