The Profile

Spirit Caravan is an American doom/stoner trio formed by Scott "Wino" Weinrich in the Maryland scene. With Dave Sherman (bass) and Gary Isom (drums), they fused Sabbath-weight with desert and psychedelic hues across Jug Fulla Sun and Elusive Truth, plus the Dreamwheel EP. The compilation The Last Embrace gathers their core output and rarities; the band later reunited for mid-2010s tours.

Three DeBaser reviews salute Spirit Caravan’s Sabbath-rooted, desert-scorched doom-stoner.
