Early in his career Setzer was a member of the NYC band Bloodless Pharaohs, and later fronted the popular rockabilly revival band, Stray Cats. The Stray Cats particularly caught America's attention with the 1982 album Built for Speed, which included the two Top Ten hits, "Rock This Town" (#9) and "Stray Cat Strut" (#3), as well as with the follow-up 1983 album Rant 'N Rave, which included the two successful singles "(She's) Sexy + 17" (#5), and "I Won't Stand In Your Way" (#35).
In the mid 1990s, Setzer led a comeback of sorts for swing music and big band music, when he formed Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released at least 5 albums to date and one live DVD. This group had one hit, "Jump, Jive, and Wail" around the same time swing revival acts like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" had been received favorably in mainstream America.
Brian Setzer also recorded some solo albums during Stray Cats' break in the 1980s along with some in the 1990s. In 2001 he released an album titled Ignition with his band '68 Comeback Special. A new solo album titled Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26, 2005, in the United States.

Caravan
The Brian Setzer Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem'ry of our caravan
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
The Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Caravan" is a song that revolves primarily around the excitement of a journey, mixed with a hint of romanticism. The first verse of the song describes a mystical night filled with bright stars that fade away, shining upon the caravan that is on a journey under the open skies. The second verse describes a couple on this journey, with the man cherishing every moment spent with his partner. He wants to keep the memory of everything they experience on this journey, from sleeping on his shoulder to the magic of the charms around them.
The chorus of the song describes the excitement and joy of being on this journey with his partner. The lyrics describe the exhilaration that the man feels with his partner, showing his affection and love for her. The song shows how he feels like his dream of love is finally coming true on this journey, and it's all within their desert caravan.
