30 Songs in 30 Days - Day 5: Ken Nordine - “Yellow”

Okay, I’ll be honest, I only picked “Yellow” over “Olive” because “Olive” is a harder track to find a video for and the “Yellow” track has J.R. “Bob” Dobbs. That being said, let’s move on.

Okay, just…listen to this guy’s voice. You’ve heard it before, but where, just can’t place it huh? That’s okay. It’s because his voice is EVERYWHERE. Ken Nordine has done more voice-over work than you’ve taken poos in your entire life. However, he also has a great taste for Jazz and has recorded several albums. The best of which came out in the late 60’s (that was a great time for creativity huh?) called “Colors”. In it, Nordine does a little playful spoken word album with each song being based on a color, what/who the color is, why it is, what it’s like, how it feels. The songs also follow a light paradigm about society as well, which you can either read into or just sit back, have a cocktail and enjoy.
