Slightly odd album of the week
Ken Nordine 'Colors'
Ken Nordine is an american voiceover artist (You might have heard him on the Shellac album) and this album came out in 1966. Basically he recities weird/funny poems/little stories about colours (a different one for each track) over a sort of jazzy musical background.
"'Colors' is an addictive curate's egg to be filed alongside Important's Henry Jacobs, Lenny Bruce and John Brent, wherein Nordine half narrates/half raps(?) his self titled 'word jazz'. With a voice like a mahogany Vincent Price, Nordine is at turns funny, sinister and always addictive, coming across like a late night Dr Seuss."
