Where this album fits

Career context
By 1994, Caravan was navigating a revival phase after a series of lineup changes and a long hiatus since their last studio album in 1982. 'Cool Water' marked their first release in over a decade, attempting to reconnect with the progressive rock scene while showcasing their signature sound. This album is particularly notable as it reflects both a return to form and a new direction for the band.
